Centric are the brand that I have. They list standard and premium part numbers. 
They do not share what the difference is. Of course I went with premium. 
Brembo used to make them. I could not find Brembos. 
Unfortunately, even Brembos are made in China now, no matter the application.

A couple years ago when I was accumulating parts for my TR250 vintage racer I 
sourced a pair of brake drums that I knew were aftermarket copies of the Datsun 
240Z finned aluminum drum. These copies were getting decent reviews at the 
time, so I tried a pair. 

So I am prepping for the next event and found this. These drums ran 8 weekends. 
The other drum shows a small crack, looks like it would grow to look like this 
one pretty quick. 

So anyone have a source for some real Datsun Z-car drums?
