Owner reviews for brake drums

I would order some brembo rotors... I've had their drums on my Toyota trucks before, very good quality

That or stoptech I've abused my Toyota trucks with those brands before and never had problems

Last time i bought them the ac delcos were around $30 each. If the vehicle is old as shit or im overhauling the brakes id definetly replace them.

OEM ACDelco drums solved the problem.

Well, I finished putting my new mk3 drums on the rabbit, bled the whole system AGAIN with ATE superblue, and the pedal doesn't feel any stiffer. I am sure it stops better, but I wouldn't know....there is no engine in it haha On the other hand, got ahold of a new mk3 MC and put it on my mk2 jetta (only 9.4's and 180mm drums, ironically) and it feels great! There is very little travel in the pedal to make it WORK!

The drums were absolute garbage, the vehicle didn’t stop smoothly. I just couldn’t believe it.

The fronts seem to have went fine but the rears have given me a fit. Everything disassembled and reassembled in what I would deem a painless manner, until I went to put the tire back on the rear. I tightened the lugs and all of a sudden the wheel became stupid hard to rotate. With just the drum slid on it rotates freely so I ran the lug nuts down on just the drum and it froze up just like when I put the tire on. The other side did the same thing. The old drum rotates just fine. I guess the new bendix drums aren’t machined right, something is off with them.
