WOW I did not know all this about Drums and Discs. I have always wanted to go full disc because Drums are a PITA to me. For me it was cleaning. with my cherokee every time I went wheeling when I got home I had to REMOVE the rear wheels and REMOVE the drums to clean the MUD out of the drums or it would grind down my shoes in a month or two.
with the discs I just hosed them off through the holes in the wheels.
Drums are also a royal pita to change shoes on. not hard just annoying. I never knew about the dragging issues (though I can hear the tell tale snick snick of a dragging pad in my metro)
but in all my vehicles the problem when away when I replaced the calipers (they are pretty corroded on the metro)
VERY interesting info. I guess I will be keeping the drums on the metro rear wheels :-) mud's not a problem for my metro so...
