I'm not really looking for a performance upgrade, just normal driving and normal braking.
Pretty much everything in my drums needs to be replaced, and I figure at that point, I might as well replace the drums themselves too, especially with as much rust as is on them.
For whatever reason, it looks like getting the drums from a local dealer is actually cheaper than Napa/Autozone/O'Reilly. Are the OEM better, as they would be in most cases? The aftermarket don't look like performance upgrades to me, just stock replacement. Or, are the OEM known to be crap? For what it's worth, the pricing that I'm seeing is $46 at Ford, $66 Napa, $58 AZ, and $55 OR. I'm willing to go to Advance also, just havent checked them yet.

I'm open to suggestions or hearing about your experience.
