We went 155 mph last year with the drums. No problems stopping even without the chute (Nopi rule that you have to pull at or over 150).

Drums are lighter when using factory parts. Plus with all the weight going forward from 150mph with skinnies on the rear, I doubt disks would help any at all on stopping since the front is doing all the work.
