Re: Drum brake pads
Brake shoes that are riveted are generally the higher quality.

Re: Drum brake pads
David, find a local parts store that sells Wagner brand. Ask for "riveted" it will have an "R" after the part number. [they may have to order them but most stores are connected to overnight sources]
Those are excellent quality and will do well for you. |

Re: Drum brake pads
Years ago, Napa sold metallic or semi-metallic shoes. I don't know if they still do.
I put metallic (or semi) shoes on the back of my 87 Mustang. I'm pretty sure I got them from Maximum Motorsports. I'm guessing that MM got them from someone who maybe makes them for other apps. "Don't know", "pretty sure", "guessing", and "maybe", lol, it's all I got. Anyhow, I like them on my Mustang. |

Re: Drum brake pads
Here's a link to the folks whose brakeshoes I've used on the 'wagon. Very good quality and a number of options for you.
