Drilled Brake Drums
I had more than one occasion to try them out in 100+ degree stop and go freeway driving for about 120 miles at a time. There was no fade what so ever that I could tell from constantly ridding the brakes and the pedal force to lock them up was far less that they are now with the discs. I also did a small amount of driving in rainy weather, but didn't go through any high water. Never the less I'm sure the brakes got wet a few times and there was no fade to that either. I can remember in Years past both of those situations sent me heading for the bar ditch to avoid collisions because of fading brakes. (Prior to drilling the drums) You might say "Why did you switch to Discs if you were happy with them?" Well the answer to that is I assumed that the Discs would stop even better and be about the same pedal force to
