Looking to upgrade to the 11" drum brake setup on my coupe, so literally need the hardware to make that happen:
- backing plates
- connecting & springs hardware
- drums (optional, only if NEW)
- shoes (optional, only if NEW)

Thanks!

The plus is the hardware kit and shoes are readily available and cheap. Actually right now on Rock Auto some of the 11" drums are actually cheaper too then the 10" from the same line and manufacturer. The backing plates are the hardest to get... i take that back. 11" truck is the same part number backing plate as our cars. Hmmm.. I think I might look at doing this upgrade myself!!

Thanks...but that asking price honestly seems steep given that the 11" hardware stuff is routinely available in eBag for like under $30...and that means the "big ticket" items are just the backing plates and the other hard parts.

Anyways, still good to know there are options.
The backing plates for 11x2.5 brakes don't come up often, and that seller is throwing in the hardware

Don't think you will but its a pretty typical size for trucks so that makes used ones a lot easier to find then solely relying on trying to find them off an AHB.
