According to Mr Rhoad ;) he has drum brakes because his wheels were to small to fit over the rotors, so until he has bigger wheels he will have those :)
His rear wheels definately rock my face off thats for damn sure.. Those are like 17x12 -20 :D

His offsets were too low to run the calipers apparently. He has those 300zx brakes that are caliper and drum. drums for the ebrake.


Whatever works for him haha.

It's basically that there is more surface area being used at one time on a drum so it's supposed to lock up quicker, but thats all in theory. The drums he's using are just miniature ones that are there solely for parking and can't do much else but keep the car from rolling down a hill.
