DISC BRAKES

摘要

You can only go as fast as your brakes will let you. You can get away with drum brakes on the rear for street driving since the majority of stopping power comes from the front of the car, but if you drive your classic car often, you need disc brakes up front. (Atop-of-the-line Wilwood six-piston system is shown here, but basic dual-piston kits are available from them for under $700.) We know the old argument,"but people drove these cars for years with drum brakes just fine." That's because everyone else had a 300-plus foot 60-0 stopping distance too.
