    Firm feel rear brake shoes
    « on: April 10, 2016 - 11:01:57 AM »
    I'm getting close to needing a new set of shoes, is there any advantage to the ones firm feel offer. Car is mainly used on the street but may start getting into auto cross this year, nothing serious though.

    Rear shoes are Stock replacements made with organic material $85-115.  So its basically nothing special.  I would get the same shoes from Rockauto or any local store for 1/3 price.  Front pads are Carbon metallic.  I like that.

    I agree, nothing special.  Front brakes do 70-80% of the work.
    RockAuto for the same thing at WAY less cost.
