WHOA....those are brakes

[shelby987]

I use my transmission to slow me down more than anything else.....always prefered downshifting to braking.....much more controlled.....but I can see how these things could hold in heat......the front's aren't even finned!

In most cases drum brake setup are lighter than disk bracks unless your spending the big bucks getting the real light stuff.

I used to do that too until a mechanic told me "you're better off replacing brake pads than a clutch." Makes sense to me. Why wear out the clutch faster than needed? Now I only own autos, but I thought I'd pass it on.
