Better Rear Brakes? - Page 2

SSGN · 11-11-2013, 09:22 PM

I was also told that switching the brake lines on the master from the factory setting is better (holds more pressure on the rear wheels) BUT I have never tried it and don't know anyone personally so this could be one of those old bench racing stories. Has anyone else tried this?
Thanks

My 70 Nova held better on the starting line after we swapped the factory disc brakes for drums plus the drums were lighter. It's possible that there was a problem with the discs, but drums in the front worked better to stage. If I remember right, we picked up about 500 rpm over the discs.
