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.

Subject: [Fot] Public Service Announcement, knockoff Datsun brake drums
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?
