I'm looking at a 93 dx. I'm pretty sure it has drums in the back. Are they efficient to stop a car with 400 450 hp. I have some powerslots and ss brake lines for the front already. What would you do?

 

that's iffy.. I say change them to disc.. ...

Better be safe then sorry, I say change them

 

Drums will work just as good as disk brakes but the main factor is working on them
I have drum brakes on the rear of my 94 si coupe and i'm swapping them out for integra rear disk for the ease of replacement and working on them.

Yep, drums are better in some aspects compared to disc.

no there not.... that makes no sense since... disc can dissapate heat alot faster and he says 400-450 hp... no he needs to upgrade

To some people they are, there lighter in weight, they don't get wet so there is no brake fade, like I said SOME aspects.

Thanx for the help. if it's an easy swap to disc i'll go for it. but it's good to know that it's not really necessary. Thanx guys
