What driving situations are you feeling like this makes such a big difference? I've never experienced braking problems so interested to hear if it is a particular driving condition that warrants a disc change.
#1 consistency. Drums would take a bit to warm up or set in coming out of storage. Had to turn the controller up a bit. Then they would start working better and would lock up if controller was not turned back down.
#2 no fade on that long hill. Been in-out of Death Valley a few times with both drum and disc. These are long 7% to 9% grades that require controlled speed for the curves. Drum was OK, disk was far better.
#3 panic stop. This also relates to consistency in that to get my drums to feel right (no push/pull) they would lock up during a panic stop. Disk feels right around town and consistently provides a shorter and more controlled panic stop experience.
That is my experience. Maybe your drums and controller do a better job.
