I got some more pep in the motor before putting discs on, and I found it rather distressingly easy to fade the drums. I've used the discs a lot harder, and never had any fade.

The shocks are fairly easy to move to the front, well, once you've gotten past the task of taking off those large fine threaded nuts that hold the shock mounts on, the ones that have been sitting there for around 50 years. But other than that, it's easy to move them to the front, and if you have a welder, angle the lower mount inward some.
