Default Disc sizing ???

Quote:
Roughly 70% of your braking is on the front.
After reading the above statement is it better to go with a larger disc on the front than the back, or can you have equally sized discs all around.

I may have made a mistake on my 68 Torino and bought too small of a disc (11.3) for the front. It was touted as a stock replacment kit for my car9 Kelsey-Hayes).

I have large drums ( 10 X 2.5 ) on the back that I plan to convert to discs someday.

This is the kit I bought.

My Torino is not a track car, and has a mild 351, TKO 5 speed. It is morphing into a Pro -Tourer as I have the money, and time.

Thanks, Joe
