When buying brake shoes,rotors, and pads does the size matter? The max diameter stamped on the drum says .256.3mm. but going to resurface both drums slightly for surface cleaning. No the drums arent warped either. There's different sizes on rotors too. Replacing brake pads, rotors, shoes, and wheel cylinders. Buying all parts from rockauto in Raybestos.
