Did you notice better braking going from std 10" to them? when i went from 10x2 to 11x2.5 on my 68dart with the 73 disc front I noticed a big diff in brakeing power and distance. never locked them up and it would stop short and give change. heavy,yes,but the stoping distance alone was worth the extra weight IMHO try a 440 with 9' drums on all 4 corners,go to next town turn around drive slowly back to stop sign Last edited by scratchnfotraction; 11/12/11 11:57 AM.

I upgraded my 87 Diplomat from 10.87" disc/10" drums to 11.75 disc/11" drums, big different in stopping distances. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Because 5" pattern 3" rear drums were standard on '60s Imperials, the large pattern drums are much more common than the 5 x 4 1/2" version. Contact info
