If it's good enough to be lawsuit-proof, it's probably pretty good.
All I know is that I'm not an engineer and I hate math with a passion, and that there are many complex things to take into consideration on a disc brake conversion that are beyond my limited grasp because they vary from model to model of car even, and that my car was engineered for the brakes that it has and that's good enough for me. My life's too complicated as it is without experimentation on my brake system.
Many things get discussed here. People moaned about how hard Budd discs are to get and what they would do do for a shot at a set.
