Re: Mismatched Drums
To me that one with the spring around it looks like a factory front drum from what I've seen but I could be totally wrong.

Re: Mismatched Drums

Re: Mismatched Drums
if you want the best deal, go get used ones from the junk yard. New drums suck. They have no provisions for the spring, no holes to adjust the shoes though, and they warp REAL easy.
