It's more for the fact, as you said the discs don't fill up with mud like the drums do. My next step will be a handbrake too, it's currently the drum type coming off the tbox, i've read mixed reviews about the X-eng. Good once a heavier return spring has been fitted to it?
Anyone changed the spring and happy with how it performs?

Re: brake upgrade
Scottie's redone his spring and has a nice picture on how to do it.
personally since switching to the transfer drum brake I haven't had any problems with it and it works well

Re: brake upgrade
They are exposed to mud and water though and tend to wear out very quickly, the advantage is that they are easier to change than shoes.Anton wrote:The thing is, they're not really "better" at stopping me than the old drums were, they just don't fill up with mud and then become useless.
