New CARDONE Aluminum Brake Drums review

[turbo2nr]

Looks pretty so far?

I bought on eBay for $110 each (shipped)

10.5LBS FOR ONE....

 

[turbo2nr]

21 Pounds for both.

I believe this is maybe 1lb heavier than what I am about to take off?

Still lighter than cast iron, no?

I just weighed a used set of OEM aluminum ones that I'm about to have turned.

Just under 21 pounds.

 

[turbo2nr]

Yeah....

I read a thread here that stated Stock was 10# and Aluminum 5#.

That is not true.

The Stockers are around 15# and Aluminum 10#

So, indeed a total savings of about 10# rotational mass.

Your wheels will get pushed out another 1/8" - 3/16" or so?

The facing of the Aluminum is a bit thicker than the Irons.

Which is what I needed.

I guess Two thumbs up so far.

Got a set of aluminum drums from Kirban this year. Home scale weighed the aluminum's in at 9.5lbs and my cast stock ones where 15lbs
So yes , the aluminum drums will save you 10-11lbs a set.

That link doesn't work.

Just Google cardone/select-aluminum-brake-drum

Sorry about that. Try this one: https://www.carid.com/cardone/selec...MIm4TFq7TD2AIVhaDsCh3irwa5EAQYAyABEgIlsPD_BwE

However, I found them cheaper on ebay.
