I need new front drums and they were shockingly expensive at the local auto parts store. They wouldn't turn my existing drums...too thin. I installed new shoes and wheel cylinders, and scuffed up the drums with sand paper. The brakes still suck.
If I'm gonna spend a lot for drums, why not spend even more and get disks? Is the car worth more with original drums? It's not a numbers matching car.
Or, maybe a need a lesson on improving drum brake performance.
