disc or drum??? my cx has drums I was told to change the master cylinder to a bigger size and run drums on the back on my drag eg hatch. What do you guys think is the best setup???

 

bump come on guys what setups are you running on your car????

 

IMO, it really doesn't matter. The guy's guy's have both set up's. Put your money and time some where else. So long as your wheels spin freely leave them alone.

This question was asked a few weeks back.

 

Yeah.
All the fast "street" cars have drum brakes unless they came with disc.

 

I like my drums, as long as it setup properly you wouldn't have a problem with either one.

 

I think drum is the better bet because they hold better when you do your burnout and also when you are pre-loading.

 

drums are lighter also

 

Do drums really hold better? I havent had a car with drums on it, and my current car (89 Civic Si) had the rear disc swap when i bought it.

 

rear disc brakes

 

Drums here...... They work ok at 160mph....lol

 

thinks guys. What master clyinder are you running??? my car makes boost and I lose vaccum bad I have to pump the brakes to get it to stop.
here is some pic of the car!!!!!

 

go with what ever is lightest and has the rotating mass closest to the center.

drums.

 

well discs are better lookin, so just get some grippy brake pads and it makes a difference

 

not being able to stop without pumping the brakes? at what speed or trap? sounds to me like you have some other issues with your braking system, issues that a rear disc setup might not fix.

 

I can't view pictures here at work, do you have the check valve in the vacume line to the brake booster?

 

Yes he does.

 

Than I'm thinking he needs to bleed his brakes, he may have air in the lines. It's a pretty simple system. If the master cylinder and brake booster are in good shape he should be fine. The Honda Manual has some simple test for the brake system.

Other then that, I know rota92 likes the Axxis pads for there cold bite

 

you should not be in boost when on the brakes, how much vacuum are you pulling when in vacuum?

 

switch to EX drums. bigger and better than the CX and still weigh less than disks

 

stay drums and vent your valve cover!!!
