Aren't all of the brake drums available actually the same, as in they all fit all sub-models? Getting a little confused while shopping online as for some reason most of the vendors show the ones for "4wd wagon" as the most expensive choice, with one exception: a few vendor sites show the ones from Brembo and Winhere (with the same mfg part numbers?!) as "applicable to all submodels, all engines". mrph? Makes no sense to me with the possible exception of the hatchback (lighter weight) as the braking systems should all be the same. So can I just order the least expensive ones even if they say for FWD, etc?

 

*actually, let me correct something: at Autozone, the drums for FWD sedan/wagon/coupe are the most expensive they offer....?

FWD will be different as far as how the bearing fits onto a spindle for the rear drums

 

also, ea82 drums are larger than ea81's

 

if you are shopping for ea82 drums, look for 94 loyale so you do not get any brat or hatchback mixed in the parts numbers results.
