+1 bought new drums from applied because on of mine had a deep groove. Did have to get them trued. I did notice they were lighter than the OEM. Is this a consideration? I put the new, lighter drums on the middle axle (because hey, they're new) and the original heavier drums on the rear. Wondering now if I should have done that the other way with the old drums with more mass up front due to increased braking work that is done / more heat to be dissipated
