Converting The Brakes On Your Antique Car For Safer Stopping And Better Control
Antique cars can be fun to restore and modify, but they have some older systems that you need to ensure are working or upgrade them to work. The brakes in these cars are one of those systems, and if you modify a car or truck with a larger engine and more power, you need to consider a front disc brake conversion kit for added stopping and safety.
Drum Brakes
Most antique cars came from the factory with drum brakes on all four corners, and while they were fine for the stock vehicle driving at much slower speeds than today, they don't have the grip and the power to stop a car as effectively as disc brakes.
