Should've bought a 3k civic.

My 93 Ranger has them.

It's the 4.0l with a five speed and 4x4, so it has a Ford 8.8. I've been toying with the idea of getting a rear axle from a same gen explorer

It would actually be really neat to paint a geometric design on a drum. You'd pay an assload for that many colors of nice high temperature paint, though.

>discs in the front
>drums in the rear
I have absolutely no braking power in the rear. They're garbage.

I have an '04 Vibe witn rear drums. One doesn't engage when I pull the parking brake.

It pisses me off, because discs have fewer moving parts and have been around for fucking ever. The Olds 442 had four discs ffs.

>pic related is how it feels when your driving a shitbox with warped rotors.

>>17608643
That's how my Eclipse is, the rears are a joke. Makes it easier to slide around corners, but when driving normally it always feels like I'm braking too hard if I'm not careful.

Today I found out why my rear drums are vibrating.

you sprinkled some pubes on them?

>>17608356
Yes my '69 Ghia and '93 Polo G40 have them at the back and my '71 181 has them all round. I didn't know they were still made this millennium, none of my modern cars have them.

My wife has a base model 2016 Focus. It's got discs all around but here's something I've never seen before... power windows in the front, roll ups in the back

Disgusting.

>>17608643
The issue is on your front discs, not in the rear.
Drums actually have more braking force, they're just not as resilient to fatigue.

Fucks sake stop talking out your ass. Did brakes have worse stopping power but last longer

Do you think they use disc brakes on 16 wheelers and heavy lorries?

>>17610870
Are you retarded? Don't you think the brakes on a supercar will suffer more fatigue since they're subjected to a lot more intense braking for longer periods of time?
Fucking google it if you don't believe me.

They do. Some rotors are 430mm in diameter.

there is a table with OEM P/N, you can google images if you want.

>>17610883
Many still use drums, though.
But again, the main thing when using discs is avoiding fatigue, not exactly braking power.
Obviously discs will be superior to drums when both things are taken into consideration.

You never rode in a Dodge Neon? Even the SRT-4 has this setup.

>>17610830
and now you have brake dust cancer

>>17614474
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if I do

>>17608356
Even many modern German luxury vehicles still have drum+discs in the back. Of course its not used for main braking, but the parking brake uses it.

>>17610786
very common on lower spec models?

>>17608356
Jesus even fake brembo covers over the drums would look better than that.

You could pick up any of the disc conversion kits for a fox body instead of pulling and replacing an entirely good axle.

How can I convert my front discs to drums?
