Has anybody replaced their parking brake shoes on their GT? I want to know if the shoes are something most auto stores carry or a dealer only item. NAPA said they showed them but they were the same part number as the ST rear shoes, which I think is not right.

hey guys, when I needed to change them i had them remanufactured at a brake/clutch reman. shop. it cos me $20 to do all 4.
oh and for those of you who think the drums in the rear disks are not worth it ur wrong. Using it at the same time as braking with the disks (with out making them lock) helps ALOT, as the rear disks in GT's dont have that good of stopping power. If it wasnt for the extra drums there were may times i would not have stopped in time to get out of badf situations. I like to think of it as a 6-part braking system, as i use (and think of) the drums more as secondary's, rather than just parking. |
