Brake drum question

No good by who's definition?
No I dont want your "no-good" ones. That post was written in a comedic spirit.My wife never fails to remind me about my lousy sense of humor. I guess it does not come across very well on the internet either.

When those drums are new, as in not-worn, they have the ability to shed heat pretty good.Since my car is set up with 295s out back, I was able to send a very large amount of stopping power out there. Those flanged drums are a bonus for me, cause they make it possible for me to get away with that. Also,the rear brake parts are much cheaper to replace than the KH rotors.I put soft shoes back there, and they dont last very long, but they're quiet, and easy on the drums.

I totally agree that the big fine is wonderful to have, I had them and lucked out and found 2 of the centric (sp) and put them on... i hated to throw them out but they were were out of spec... didnt know if some people still used the out of spec ones or not... it was sounding like you wanted that style useable or not, i was starting to feel like i shouldnt have thrown them out... you never know who may want them for looks or something i guess... LOVE my new ones though....what a difference they made. I have the 295/50/15 also, going to get the 305's when these are wore out, thats as big as i can fit.
