<VV> BRAKE SHOES



Can someone provide me w/first hand experience or advice concerning KEVLAR

brake pads?

I have a Corv-8 and am trying to decide what my best braking option is. This

car is a street/ocassional driver. A disc front end is best I'm sure, but

Kevlar for $120 for 4 wheels is an attractive/cheaper option. My question is:

How do the Kevlar perform compared to Metal linings or Discs? Are Kevlar

adequate for my street application? Is there a combination of Kevlar front,

regular rear that might work ok. I believe I have heard somewhere that like

shoes must be used at all 4 wheels, though disc front drum rear is acceptable.
