At 35k miles, my 96 Dak needs rear brake shoes. The front pads are fine. I was looking
for a brake pad like Performance Friction carbon metalic, but they don't have one for
dakota application. Has any one found a brake pad/shoe manufacture that is a cut above
the rest. Are premium sets by Raybestos or Wagner at the local PepBoy better or worst
that the factor issued brakes. The factory brakes have performed well, but there is always
something better. My basic requirements are shortest stopping distance especially while
towing my boat, quite and fade resistant. When the front pad get changed some pads
produce less dust than others.
Thanks for any insite, because I know lots of you have been down this road before.
