Are the drums china repops? On my Dart, I had to have a machinist shave about 1/8 inch off my drums. I know you can't do that, since it's hitting ing the groove on the drum, but maybe off the backing plate, if you have no other options. Also, look for slight leaks from the wheel cylinders. I had a new Oreillys that you could see leaking by pulling the wheel cylinder boot back.
