Anyone tried the praise dyno stage I semi kevlar rear drum systems ??? They are based in Royse City Tx.Thanks Much.Shawn

I use them on the front drums of my 'Velle and they work great. They actually stop better the hotter they get! Get em'...you won't be dissappointed and work MUCH BETTER than OEM shoes.

Are those are the pads that Gene Chas posted about? You get disk like performance out of drum brakes.

They seem pretty good from what I see here. Their site doesn't say, but what kinda price they talking for (ballpark figure i mean)?

Tony, I think I paid around $100 for my two front wheels. Pricey yes, but they will make a good drum brake system stop as best as it possibly can.

Not too bad considering how much improved performance they give. Next time I have to get new ones I'll look into it.

I'm very interested in these brakes. I have a 4 wheel drum system on my 68 camaro and I really don't think the car stops all that bad, even though everyone curses the system. Do you people that run these shoes think they will make a drum system stop as well as a stock front disk set up? They may be expensive but a disc brake set up is much more.
