I go to NAPA, buy two premium rotors, and another set of pads. I had the drums turned, and replaced the shoes just because. 3 Months later, I start having problems with the drums. So I go to NAPA, and buy two premium drums. Right out of the box, and they're out of round. Now the rotors are just starting to show signs of being warpped. First I feel my calipers have a problem, Napa is going to warranty the rotors and drums. I'm going to Toyota for the rotors,and drums. I'm going to replace the calipers as well. I do pull a two place snowmobile trailer, to carry my 4 wheelers. Any replies are welcome, Anthony
I don't know much but it sounds like you may be getting butter steel from Napa.
