Rear Drum Brake Upgrade

Ok, I won't be switching out to Disc this year so nobody tell me to switch out. I need a good drum replacement kit or a Hi-Perf kit for drum brakes. I'll probably be buying new drums (can get them cheap). Anyone know of any companies that do this? Pics would also help if anyone else has done this, thanks

I was thinking the same thing as you, but was unable to find performance parts for the drum brakes. Everything I could find was disk. I was also looking for a posi rear end. On ebay, I found a 3.23 posi rear end with disk brakes and got it for $300. I was really looking for the posi, but the disk brakes were a bonus. I plan on having them installed this summer and will let you know if the brakes fit, and what parts I need to complete the conversion

Sorry fellas but you'll find NO performance enhancers for drum brake systems.

Yeah I'm going OEM with this as I've found that out, thanks.
