Drum brake pad question

I have a 1991 Z28, 350, auto and it has the Borg warner 3:23 rear end but has drum brakes on the rear.

The shoes are worn out and needs replacing.

What brand brake shoes should I go with that wont squill when braking and where do i get them?

Thanks,

BLURR

So you are one of the lucky ones to have a drum brakes with your 350 (91 was the year GM had a disc brake supply problem)For your info the 3:23 ratio is a 10-bolt rear and not BW.

Check any Auto Parts store for the brake shoes, they are a common part. There are not any performance drum brake shoes made now for all I know. The last one I used were semi-metalic.

Yep Im one of the lucky ones. I should have swapped rear ends with the 91 T/A before I sold it.
