Hey Guys, New to Hot Rodding and new to the Board. Great info and look forward to your suggestions.
OK, here is what I am struggling with. I have a 41 Ford Coupe. I'm getting ready to put in a 9" and am struggling with going to a disc or drum rearend. While I am doing this I am wanting to upgrade the front brakes from the 9.25" MII to an 11" setup.
So......Is it worth the brake upgrade? I hear about all of the 13" Performance Brake products, but I can't seem to get over the feeling that if the brakes lock up it doesn't matter if it is a 9.25, 11 or 14" rotor. It's still locked up. Does the larger rotor allow for greater heat and gas disipation and as a result less liklihood to lockup?
Thanks
Deon
