What is the best brake conversion kit for the money?
How hard is it to install for a non professional?
It is worth changing over to disc brakes if the manual ones work fine?

driving frequently with drum brakes is like gambeling, you never know when they might fail or slip in an emergency situation. Drum brakes are ok for braking but for heavy traffic situations like Los Angeles I wouldnt take that risk. I was planning on switching to front disks when I got the money. I really think Baer brakes is really good for quality and price + they are pretty easy to install. If you live near Pomona, CA or anywhere near Los Angeles I am really interested in helping other people install a disk brake kit( even though I have never done it).
