    $400 is waaaay too much. Shop around. With all the chinese steel in the market, drum and rotor prices have come way down....

    I have the complete 5-lug set up I took off when I installed front discs last year, everything from the tie rods on out. Here in PA you're allowed .090" wear on a drum before it needs replaced.

    I tend to spend the extra bones on Raybestos Professional grade brake parts. They are more like original parts than any other aftermarket part(drums and rotors more so than anything)drum prices are going up not down. Still shop around and find the best deal.
