I hope TRF has them in stock. I waited for months from TRF and finally gave
up. This, too, after I had ordered them months earlier from Auto Warehouse and
they charged my credit card on the day of my order and never shipped them. In
fact, their supplier AutoSpecialty had gone out of business.
I ordered the 240Z OEM Brembo ones from Auto Haus Arizona. Auto Hause shipped
the day of the order.

Had a local machinist enlarge all holes to match the originals and enlarge the
aluminum rear housing to clear the brake backing plates at $50 for the pair.
They now fit perfectly.

I've been told that the Brembos are better quality than TRF.

Subject: [6pack] TRF Alloy Brake Drums
I see where TRF is running a special on their Finned Alloy Brake Drums.
Strangely enough they're the same price as the stock drums. Is there any
advantage to the alloy drums or is it mostly the "looking cool" factor. I
know that alloy should dissipate heat faster but I'm talking about in
everyday driving conditions.
Just working on my brake system "to do" list.
