Better Performance Notice the drop in performance of this drum brake when tested at highway speed.
7
60 to 0 Is An Important Tool INDEPENDENT RESULTS 40 MPH TO A COMPLETE STOP USING TRAILER BRAKES ONLY You will see a 35% to 58% shorter stopping distance with disc brakes
8
Fewer Moving Parts Fact Disc Brake Calipers have one moving part Drum Brakes have between six and twelve moving parts
