I have a 70 challenger that has manual brakes w/front disk. I am in the process of installing a 66 b-body rear and thinking about what brakes to run. I am going to run a 15 inch wheel so i think I would be limited to a 12 inch rotor with disks.My question is other than ease of brake service what would be the advantages (if any) of going to disk rather than 11 inch drums?(I am planning to keep it manual either way).

Inspection or not I need an e brake because the cars going to be a 4 speed. Mostly going to be street driven. If it is raced it will be in a strait line. If it matters the car is 100% steel with a full interior and an aluminum headed big block.(just thought knowing about the weight might help)
