- I believe that the drums that The Z store sells are "Centric" Brand. We use many of their products in out shop and find that they are excellent quality. I am currently using a pair of their drums on

- My take-away is the Centric aftermarket drums are not up to the task on my car. I have yet to weigh my TR250, but I'm confident despite best efforts the car is not a lightweight. Neither is the drive

- I have no doubt that heat was at the very least a contributing factor to this failure. The aluminum got hot, expanded, and the steel band insert had room to 'grow'. I run Carbotech's XP8 compound fro

- Depending on the friction coefficient of the brake shoe material and velocity/pressure there would be varied levels of heat generation. It appears heat is the causative failure component. Testing wou

- The consensus is the OEM Datsun drums are the best Al-Fin alternative that is somewhat available. Finding a pair that are not run out is not so easy any more. I have two pairs on my shop floor now th
