    so i'm on a limited budget, and just found out that my drums and shoes are toast, plus the jackoffasuar before me cut the e-brake lines and mangled the rear line that goes from side to side... plus my back plates are kinda beat up too. anyone know if it would be cheaper for me to replace all the drum stuff or should i just wait til i have a few more pesos to throw down on a rear disc upgrade?

    its going to be my daily... i am just having trouble finding parts on a lot of these damned parts sites. half of them take too much memory to load on my computer (stoopid computer) and the other half give me parts i dont want like body kits and spoilers when i type in brakes... i might just get the lc enginearing kit and swap the six lug stufffor 5 lug, but i still cant find any price diff between that and just replacing the drum kit, which i need everything from where its bolted on to the differential on out, plus the rear brake line.

    when you're finishing your order up, in the "where did you hear about us" field, copy/paste the following
    59274374545424
    good for 5% discount till aug. 7th. order a few times in a month and they'll send you one or after enough orders they'll start sending one every time you order.

    I work at a parts store and rockauto plus shipping is usually around or better than my discount.

    nice... yeah i found all the drum parts i needed there for next to nothing including a bunch of other things i was looking for at good prices too. wish they had a bigger inventory of other things but what they do have rocks.
