Actually, this has been a great thread, and I am to be heartily commended for coming up with the topic. You may show your appreciation by sending me car parts. Or paypal.

Here is what I've learned so far;
1) Four wheel drums are more than adequate for nearly all driving situations you are likely to encounter while sober
2) Factory drums are marginal at best in any situation
3) You stand a 90% chance of ending up in a wheelchair just driving a drum-brake car to the store to get milk
4) Factory drum brakes attract overturned campers like a trailer park draws tornados. Or something like that. I didn't follow that part real well.
Got it!

I also learned:
5) Big disc setups are for looks
6) Big disc setups are indispensable
7) The bigger the discs, the quicker the jump to light speed
8) You can avoid speeding tickets if your rotors are big enough
and,
9) with big enough brakes, and $23K of chassis and suspension upgrades,our mopars can be made to handle as well as a Corolla!

So whose system should I buy; Mirkwood, Bimbo, or Bear?
