Faulty Brake Parts Ruined My Ride

My analysis of this brake system showed that it was made with poor-quality materials and lacked durability .Although the installation was a breeze the overall performance was disappointing. The only positive aspect was the affordable price. However, it`s simply not worth sacrificing safety and quality for savings. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this brake system at all costs..

Pros
  • High-quality construction made to last for increased durability and reliability.
Cons
  • Installation may require technical knowledge or professional assistance.

This brake hardware is a must-have for any automotive enthusiast .The materials used are top-notch and long-lasting. The brake kit delivers consistent and excellent braking performance even when applying pressure suddenly. The price is a bit higher compared to other brands but it`s worth it given the long-lasting nature and great performance this brake hardware delivers..

Pros
  • High-quality and durable material ensures long-lasting performance
Cons
  • Installation can be difficult without proper tools and experience

Functions. Does not include C-Washers

It works but for some reason does not include the new C-Washers (required to attach the E-Brake lever to the rear shoe) nor the new Wave washers. Other kits that I have ordered in the past contain these necessary items.

Pros
  • Drum Mount Kits
Cons
  • Has issues
