85 disk or 92 drum brakes

After reading all about how horrible the pre PBR calipers are on the camaros I was if I should have kept my 92 drum brakes. The 9-bolt came with the disk so I thought they would be better ( I bought new calipers too) but after reading about how much they suck should I have stayed with the stock drums on my 92?

Personally i prefer the drums out back because they seem to lock up much less than discs in the rear. The front does almost all of the braking anyway.

You should just put in a 10 bolt disc braked setup. 9bolts are hard as hell to find parts. Glad to see there is some one else from washington here.

9bolts are a lot stronger than 10 bolts, ask most anyone here. Parts maybe easier, but I can get anything I need from either 9bolt.com or the local parts place for some items, but I'd rather not break them in the first place. Not to mention the 9 bolt I bought came with stock 3.70 gears which is very rare. If you want to talk to other wahington people got to cascadecrew.org there are plenty there.
