Painted drum brakes, when standard drum brakes aren't embarrassing enough :lol:

Other than that it looks quite nice.

i know that you don't understand braking efficiency's waitey. drum brakes suffer from braking fade when you're on an overly spirited drive ; the actual braking force between a drum brake and a disc brake is non existent in terms of small braking set ups on the rear of a car where not even 25% of the braking is done. the 25% is at full chat, with the momentum shift to the front of the car there is hardly any rear weight due to the kinetic weight shift to the front axle. unless you go up to extremely fast car territory where the rear brakes are featured a little bit more.

i'll trust that you'll wikipedia brake fade.

but you probably already knew that the rear brakes make absolutely no difference to a car which is why track cars don't bother their backside changing their rear setups or pad / shoe choices. can't say i've ever been embarassed with drum brakes personally. can't say any of the other owners i've known with drum brakes on their respective cars have been embarassed either.

over and out.

when it comes to dust caps, i go commando my gt winter wheels may have to be going black with a green diamond. need new rear drums first and they're going green! how embarrassing
