  • Adjustable Brakes

    Hey, any of you that have rear drums on your f-bodies (or any car, for that matter--maybe) did you ever know that they're adjustable? My father-in-law pointed out a small slot on the 6 o'clock position of the inside of the drum and stuck a small screwdriver in there, and clicked something that made the shoes "expand" a bit and thus coming into contact with the drum cover quicker, which makes for shorter stopping distances. Just a lil' F.Y.I. Peace.

    adjusting the opposite way will clear the pads @ the track for zero drag. this works until you put car in reverse & adjusters kick in.

      Well, I don't race much really, but I did notice a quicker response and a tighter feel when I stop and he used to work on cars, and he used to have a '91 Camaro RS, so I trusted he knew what he was talkin' about.
