...because they don't work when they get hot and they don't work when they get wet...They also like to pull to one side if one is adjusted tighter than the other...Discs are far superior and stopping ability is important...

: : : : I've got a '73 comet, 302, 4 door. So far, all I've done is split the exhaust. I want to get a new intake manifold and carb, but I also want to put disc brakes on the front. Is putting in disc brakes really worth it? Are they that much better than drums? I don't have a whole lot of technical experience, so if its really hard to do I might forget about it. I've noticed several times that my comet doesn't stop just extremely quickly, and have already had several near-scary experiences, which makes me want to do the brakes before the intake... Any opinions?
