it was a while back now, but Car Craft had a tech article about those shoes and they turned out to stop their ride (i think it was something like a '75 Buick Skylark or something) in the shorest distance compared to other brands...
that was enough to get me to bite...they were relatively cheap, easy to put on, quiet...and they are a perfect compliment for the brutestop pads i have up front (THESE babies really grip)
good enough explanation??? :lala:

get Bendix, lifetime warranty, even for wear. if you plan on owning your ride forever like most of us do, go the extra mile, and fork out a little more cash for bendix. and on the front put the bendix ceramic pads, no squeals, dust or problems with them, they are great.

Can't go wrong with Brute Stops but I wonder if you can still purchase Lakewoods. They had grooves cut in them for cooling and debri release. I remember those working great on my 1st Gen.
