I've replaced the front brakes on a co-worker's 07 Matrix with all Centric parts but I have a suspicion it also needs rears. The rear brakes on these are drums, I was afraid of pulling the drums for a look-see in case things were rusted or seized up. And of course Japanese drums are a pain to do.
Me and The Critic had a chat about how bad aftermarket drums are for Japanese cars. I guess it's a crapshoot? My co-worker won't spring for OEM Toyota, so I was thinking one of the better aftermarket options and Raybestos or Centric shoes, since most of the stuff is coming in from China. If the OEM drums can be salvaged, I might just slap on OEM shoes and call it a day. Thoughts?
