RE: [Chrysler300] to all you brake mod guys

Very good points made Tony.  Four wheel discs sounds great, but no
proportioning valve?  Based on what I have read here and online, and
discussions with AAJ, with 2/3 thirds of the weight on the front wheels in a
hard braking situation, wouldn't a disc braked rear axle lock up even sooner
than the original drums?  I don't see how it couldn't.  Have you tested
yours on a gravel road surface to confirm the rears don't lock up first?

Hi to all,

Back in 1961, I had alot more hair and could hit a baseball a long way. Also
in 1961, you could go to any Chrysler dealer and get brand new drums and
hubs so that your "G" would be able to stop well. 

Those days are gone. I have alot less hair and shoulder pain talks to me
quite often and I hardly can throw a spit ball. 

All we have left are used 1961 New Yorker drums. If there is enough metal to
turn the drums, the brake shoes need to be radiused to match. The machines
to accomplish this are almost gone and the personel with the skill to run it
have less hair too. 

Put disc brakes on the front and back and you don't need a prop. valve. 

It is better if you can stop well and not hit anyone in the rear. Keep an
eye in the rear view mirror to see if you are about to be rear ended. 

Better to be the windshield than the bug!
