Performance drum brakes
Is this possible? do they make like cross drilled drum brakes? or something performance for drums? it would be for low budget people that dont want to upgrade to disc

Re: Performance drum brakes
There is a company that makes a larger diameter drum & hardware kits but IDK if any for 3rd gen rears--
I forgot the comp name but I wil try to find them in 1 of my HotRod,CarCraft,or SuperChevy mags.
IIRC the drums are 11 in. but I will look for the mags in a few.
I'm sure someone has the correct answer you're looking for,but I will look.
{edit}
Can't find it--will let ya know if I do

Re: Performance drum brakes
These guys look like they may have the solution:

No direct install kits, but I'm sure it wouldn't take much to get it to fit on our rear.

Re: Performance drum brakes
you realize you can pickup a complete set of 4th gen ls1 style rear discs for just over 100 bux on ebay most of the time and you can swap them over without a lot of hassle, handtools and a drill?
Throwing money at trying to upgrade drums is a waste. Honestly though, the drums in good working order work pretty well.
