is there any difference at all? My rear drums are rusty as hell so i need to replace them.

Brembo =$48
PBR =$25
OEM =$55

should i just go with the PBR?

well brembo is a very good name and so it OEM.

IMO id go with the brembo from there better name and slightly cheaper price....
and oem would be my second choice. they have a pretty good coating on the drums. but over time they flake off.

IMHO...

Brembo blanks in the front - Hawk HPS pads

Brembo drums in the rear - Wagner ThermoQuiet shoes

Go to Best Value Auto Parts - punch in your vehicle - and click "Rear Friction/Drums & Rotors".

For my ride:
----------------------------------------------
Wagner ThermoQuiet linings are $29.99
Brembo drums are $43.35
----------------------------------------------

dude... brembo are one of the best calipers and rotors u can find on the market ,, but if you have tha money to afford it. also you can buy oem product.. they also have it slotted and cross drill just do not use it for racing, but they are a great look to your car and respond better to your braking needs.. but if you want something for racing and look . so then get brembo.

of course i could always go that way...but i dont want too. There is alot of rusty bolts and and things that could go wrong. I rather just replaced them. My other option is the scarebird conversion kit so i wouldnt need a new spindle/trailing arm.
