Re: best prices on brakes?? (drums)

If you buy the wearever's at advance auto parts, make sure you paint those things before you even put the on the car. They rust out soo fast... i had them warrenty mine for crumbling in 2 years use. The new ones are painted gloss black with rustolem industrial spray to tide me over till the disk conversion.

Front i have BAER decela Zinc plated cross drilled and slotted rotors and Hawk ferro carbon pads, rear Bendix shoes and wearever drums. I wasn't going to spend the 50/ drum to get the bendix drums. The car isn't seeing a winter again where i have to worry about them rusting out...

So i have cheap drums.. On a 75/25 braking system, i really could give a rats ass. I have put 1 mile on my car this year... I wouldn't be to worried. Just need something to pass inspection with.
