If you saw how steep the hills are in this neighborhood especially the one to the boat ramp you’d understand. North Shore Long Island very steep hills not flat like the rest of it...
changing backing plates at 4/5 years; because that’s about how long the wheel cyls last...I have a few sets in the garage with new cyls already installed in the garage...
