Just remember that rpm and opm are different measures...are you trying to make a comparison?

You can buy the PC 7336 from lowes for $100 or the 7424 from many vendors for $120 or so. The only difference is the counter weights.

Zane's right - not a single day goes by without another thread on this issue.

Killrwheels is right on two things (my opinion)
  • just get the whole damn kit at autogeek - they'll make sure you have the right stuff so you don't buy a backing plate or pad that is the wrong size. and easy to clickety click rather than driving all over town
  • you ARE going to wonder how you ever lived without one of these before. JUST GET ONE !!!
