Just got my order from Rockauto that I've eagerly been waiting for.
All brake compnents from the master cylinder back (including new master cylinder)

opened up the drums which seemed to be in a too small of box...

check this out....?

I have never had a problem with Rockauto, they have always gone above and beyond...that actually looks more like a Raybestos problem. I believe Rockauto will make it right though.

Those look like the ones that fit my Hyundai Santa Fe. Drums for the emergency brakes melded to rotors for the main brakes.

Same here. Rockauto is great. Good prices, good selection.

so as you guys stated above,
rockauto has dealt with it without any hesitation.
they've shipped me another set of drums (hopefully correct)
and told me to just hang on to the rotors fro 2 weeks, then do with them what I please.

If you polish them real good, or paint them with flake paint, and put small lights on them, and go for a bigger X-mas tree this year... :lol:

They didn't even ask you to return the rotors?

Probably wasn't cost effective for them to pay for the return shipping........
(I've had that happen with other companies)

this is what they said verbatim.

I guess i have a nice new set of rotors:)

been trying to I.D. them out of curiosity to see what vehicles they're from. to see if anyone i know can use 'em. no such luck yet.
the numbers don't search up anything.

but yes a nice new set of high hat cymbals if need be
