Hi there,

If you choose to stay with the OEM cast drums, I strongly recommend having
them statically balanced. I only have experience with the rear drums, and I
didn't initially think they were a problem. However, after balancing them,
I was surprised by the amount of weight added and material removed to
achieve a static balance.

Best of luck,
Harold
