What's up y'all.
I tow another one of my vehicles to car shows once in a while, and I use U-Haul trailers since I haven't bought my own yet. When I initially picked up the U-Haul the first time, I saw a brake cylinder and assumed that the trailer had brakes of its own. When I loaded it up, I noticed the brakes of the truck were mch softer and harder to use, but I figured that was only because the u-haul's brakes weren't up to par.
Three tows later I realize that th U-Haul only has an emergency brake, and not proper brakes. So I figure I should upgrade my brakes. The cars I ow have hydraulics so with the weight of the trailer, car, and all the batteries, I don't wanna screw up the Hoe or risk an accident!
Anyone done this, and know of a good, low-priced brand to go with? I know 'good' and 'low-priced' are mutually exclusive since I've been in the game for a while and know that you get what you pay for, but I also know anything is better than stock!!!!
Thanks all

go to baer.com they have a new conversion that replaces the rotor and the caliper mount. You retain your stock calipers so you don't have to bleed the brakes. You could also step up to a "higher performance" brake pad.
