Probably THE reason to go to discs is  they're easier to modulate than 
drums.

The reason the factories went to discs was that wheels--within my memory  
span--went from 16" to 15", then 14", then for the compacts, to 13"; brake  
drums, as diameter decreases, lose their stopping ability; discs can be made 
to  work inside smaller wheels without losing their punch.  Isn't it ironic  
that, now that discs have become the standard way to brake a car, that 
wheel  sizes are going back to where they were 50 years or better ago.
