If you want to save a few bucks, buy your backing plates at Speedway and if you want the fancy drums, get those from MT but the cheaper Speedway drums are fine too. Made offshore however like 95% of other drums these days. Speedway is a supplier for MT backing plates so they are exactly the same. You'll save $25 on shipping and more if you get the cheaper drums from Speedway. Speedway ships for free and their drums are fine. When I bought mine from Speedway a year ago, I saved CA state taxes too but no more.
