Re: Brakes, how are you liking 4 wheel drums ?

excellent point!!!!  Very true, especially on a drum brake car where the brakes are easier to lock up than a disc brake car.  However on my car for instance the 4 wheel discs are much harder to lock up and as I went up in MC size my braking got much much better.  Based on your original question about 4-wheel drum brakes you are absolutely correct, if you can lock them up with out a booster than there will be no added stopping power with a booster.  fun discussion
