Aftermarket brake drums

Jul 22, 2008 2 Replies

Good afternoon.



The local Napa store quotes me $44 for a brake drum for my 1991 Accord. The local Honda dealer quotes $114.



Any words of wisdom on whatever Napa is selling here?



(My favorite online Honda parts dealer quotes $65, but then there's the shipping and the wait time.)



Thanks

No need to go OEM. They should work just fine......

If you really want OEM, then see if your local Honda dealer has an online site. This is becoming a very common practice among dealers.

At least one of my local Honda dealers gives me the online prices (knock on wood). I do not pay shipping/handling. I do pay local sales tax. They usually have the parts for my 91 Civic in stock and so available immediately.

OTOH, I bought a rebuilt master cylinder this past weekend from Napa. It looks identical to the old one. It's working great, and it has a limited lifetime warranty. (Thanks to Tegger for his site with tips on replacing the m/c.)
