Centric Parts 122 61002 Brake Drum Review

The Centric brake drum is a game-changer for anyone looking for an upgraded automotive brake system. The build quality is impressive, and installation was straightforward. The braking performance is outstanding, with a noticeable reduction in stopping distance. However, the only con is the price, which may be on the higher side for some people. Overall, I'd recommend this brake drum for anyone looking for high-performance automotive parts.

I rebuilt the rear brakes on my 1965 Mustang and found that both drums were so worn they would not engage. Local brake shops would charge about $100 each for drums. I found them from Centric at a great price. They fit perfectly. They are slightly lighter than factory drums.

When rebuilding the rear of my '65 Fastback I found that both rear drums were badly deformed. I got burnouts on the track just from standing on the brakes because I didn't have a cable lock. I guess that upset her. I found them from Centric and they have been working for me for a long time. They work great, but if I plan on keeping the drums in the back of my car I'll probably switch to 2 1/2 inch drums at some point.
