      Disc brake conversion vs stock drum

      Anyone have any stopping test from when they switched from front drum brakes to say a mid quality wilwood/Baer set up. My Gto is running the 13" 6 piston setup and I was curious as to what to expect. I haven't driven car yet because it is being painted. Thank you

      Front drum brakes to 6 piston will be great!

      Hot Rod upgraded the brakes on Finnegan's El Camino and tested the improvements. http://www.hotrod.com/videos/hot-rod...hot-rod-parts/

      Stock (front disks, rear drums): 162 ft
      11", 4 piston: 139 ft
      14", 6 piston: 128 ft

      Watch the video for comments and more info on the setups.
