Its time to redo the rear brake shoes again! I was debating about doing the front pads also because the pads are very close to end of life.
What brand/model brake shoes are you using? (rear)

Just want to hear about what your using and opinions on them.
Car is a weekend car so not too worried about maximum lifetime.

Re: What Pads/shoes are you using?
Just finished actually. Ive used Raybestos in the past so i just went with them again. It ended up being the front pads, so i have the shoes sitting here still but car feels great. Some reason feels slightly more stable above 55+
