This has been bandied around a few times but I'd like to ask again...
I would appreciate a recommendation on a surge brake system for a 1400lb boat/motor/trailer. I tow with a sedan and it has plenty of power but my breaking distances stretch way out when the trailer is in tow. The car is rated to tow 2000lbs and it's a very nice driving rig with the exception of the braking distance.
Should I go with hub/rotor combinations or just put rotors over my existing hubs? Does someone make a system for 12 inch wheels (that's what I have now... with 4 bolt hubs. :D )?
This may sound like a joke but I'm actually quite serious. My rig isn't heavy so I don't need much in the way of stopping power but I'd like something that is decent quality with parts available, etc.
