Product Details

When you're working on older vehicles, getting the right brake shoes is key to a safe stop. This set includes DFC 48-81 Premium Service Shoes, designed for rear or front drum brake applications on a wide variety of classic American vehicles.

The friction material is securely bonded or riveted to the steel shoe, just like original equipment specifications, ensuring a strong connection. Each shoe is precision arc-ground, which means they're shaped to match the curve of your brake drum perfectly. This helps reduce bedding-in time and ensures consistent contact right out of the box, contributing to long-lasting performance.
