Also just thought, if you need new handbrake cables, it'd be the ideal time to change them while the drums are off.

Rear discs suck ass. Drums are lighter.

And actually work.

You can still put your hand on the drums after too, they don't get all that warm...

Drums are better tbh...

But frankly, I could never deal with the looks, and I'm part of team "Unintentional Rat Look"... Everyone laughs if you've got drums - simple as!
