Default brembo brake drums

'02 SXT - need a complete brake job - would using brembo brake drums make a big difference over ones I get at a local shop? Anyone try these? Longevity of brembo products? Thanks

yea if you want a performance upgrade u might want to look into doinga srt-4 rear disc brake swap. its a lil harder then completly redoin the brake setup but from what i here its worth it. If your doin the brake job ur self good luck with the springs lol i popped myself in the face a couple times becuz my pliars sipped of em[:@]. this can be avoided with the rght tools tho.

I've actually had this in the back of my mind to do but would never even know how to do it. I've done front brake jobs, and bleeding them and all that--which I can do--just is there any "HOW-TO" on the conversion of the rear drums to disc brakes? Maybe a book or online or if someone knew, could you write this out step-by-step with pictures if possible? Something that we could follow along because I hate rear drum brakes and I wanted to do that...Well last summer when I painted my front calipers thats when I thought of it, but I just forgot about it because I figured it wasn't possible... If it is, I would definitely do it and it seems pretty cheap and worth it. Any instructions though?
