Originally posted by Wicked Neo Boomer, thats utter crap! disc brakes are far more effective than drum brakes. its all to do with heat dissapation, dics will dissapate heat quicker than drums and are less susceptable to brake fade. On drum set ups the heat builds quicker than it does with discs and under very heavy braking, the effectivness of drums gets less and less until they dont brake the car at all.

thx neo - i knew he was wrong, but wasnt sure of the logistics behind why.

good explanation.

this is the reason why they're putting ceramic brake setups on nicer cars (its a $10k option on porsches, i think); they have a higher capacity for heat and thus provide unrivaled stopping power.

theyre also teh sexay.

Nope, its a Renault

Oh, yeah Renault. That woulda been my second guess, their body styles aren't too different as far as I can see.
