60 to stop distance ?

Of course they are trying to sell stuff and this is from a magazine at that. But if it wasn't an impovement nobody would do it. Plenty here have done it but probably didn't have access to a speedway or old airport to measure. Here is the line that was done after going discs. The one quoted above is only adding big tires. Not sure how that affected stopping at all.

With the new Early Classic Enterprises front disc brake conversion installed, the braking distance dropped an additional 65ft., netting an impressive 172ft.


Personally if I drove a 4 drum setup daily I'd be fine. But for those of us that drive a 2xxx something every day and take a drum vehicle out on the weekends it's easy to forget that you need to think ahead. Especially with all the looks, whistles and conversations at stoplights I get. The again, some like my truck too.
