Hey, Gary!
<snip> switch the front brakes from disc to drum? I hate changing my pads &
rotors every year, > >
If you think changing the pads & rotors every year is a PITA, you'll kick
yourself for changing to drums. The process- just to change the shoes - will
probably take ya twice as long as changing the pads AND rotors! You need a
couple of specialized brake tools (spring removal/install, plus an
adjuster), although I have managed to do it with screwdrivers & needlenose &
visegrips...
Change to Powerslots with the Raybestsos pads of your choice. I've had
mine in for about 8K mi & not so must as a "shimmy" from the front end.
(Excluding, of course, the loose lugnuts). I checked the pads the other day
when I retightened the lugnuts & they look as if they were just installed!
No visible sign of wear AT ALL!
I got shimmy from the OEMs at 6K on both sets of rotors...
It's your choice, of course...
