Rolled 111k recently, so I'm probably past due. Brakes for this little bugger are pricey! From the searching that I've done, Advance/Autozone have them priced at $43-50 (rotors or drums!). Haven't checked Napa, but seems like most suggest that they have good parts. Might just order some stuff online. Thinking about StopTech slotted rotors for $120/pair...will keep y'all updated with search results.

Any suggestions on where to look for new drums? Also going to consider getting them turned/cut if they aren't in too bad a shape, pending inspection.

But that's me..

Yes I remember drums only & no power brakes, or P/S for that matter..
