i'm gunna lay this out there, first stop for first stop drums are as good as disks. after that first hard brake without a long cooling off period disks have it all over drums.
do i have drums-yes do i want disks-YES.
back to the question- for my money- and it doesn't cost a thang- the most important thing is make sure they are adjusted properly.
