Lowering any help/suggestions?? Please??

From : dave i cant do that

Q: hi bob just pondering that today for my 95 rebuild. i have decided to stay with the drums. they are more than adequate for an empty or nearly so pickup. if you go to disks then make sure you put in an **easily** adjustable proportioning valve. the trucks being so light on the rear the back brakes are prone to locking up at the drop of a hat unless you are hauling or towing stuff. i do like the look of disks on the back though but unless you need them horse trailers etc id stay with drums. their relative inefficiency makes for an automatic proportioning valve. g dave. .

ive always noticed discs to dry out faster than drums... maybe because the rotor cant hold a gallon of water like a drum can. either that or ya arent sitting in 18 deep puddles waiting for them to fill like ya did the drums lol -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. i was under the impresion that disc brakes would be an improvement. they are. i have had disc brakes in the past and the servicing for me was simpler go figure... a dont care. if i deal with wet brakes once in 10 years it is often. ive always noticed discs to dry out faster than drums... maybe because the rotor cant hold a gallon of water like a drum can. .
