really depends on you. you can get some good shoes for drums. only downside i've found is they will want a power assist and don't work real good cold. i have a set of 11" carbon metallics that love heat and will stop as good anything i've owned, including discs. i think to get a real good disc set-up you'll need 12" or larger calipers with a power assist. i use 15" wheels so that puts a limit in size for what i do. i have an a-body disc conversion on my 65 coronet and as far as i'm concerned it isn't worth two dead flies!
