CB performance and fibersteel sells them. I would rock them on my car; they look good.

First and foremost, the idea behind 356 drums is that they work better than VW drums. THAT is why they should be used.

............But do they work better than disc? 


Title: Re: fake 356 drums
Post by: Zach Gomulka on July 14, 2009, 17:56:49 pm
Of course not. But if you want a better performing period correct wide 5 drum, they sure can't be beat ;)

I'm just saying that 356 drums aren't used because they look cool. Form follows function.
