    nothing wrong with the stock brakes. And the front brakes do most of the work anyway, so if you wanted to upgrade that is where I would start vs the rear.

    Facts I Got front brakes upgraded already. Could one of y’all attach a link if you don’t mind for drums/shoes. I’m a noob when it comes to no pads and am getting confused with do all the components come inside new drum? Responses much appreciated.

    According to how bad of a shape, some parts can be simply cleaned up using same procedure as bellcrank repair.
