Product Details

If you're working on the rear brakes of a Buick Century, Regal, Riviera, or a wide range of other vehicles from the late 70s through the early 2000s, these DFC Premium Service Shoes are a solid option. They're designed to be a direct replacement for your original brake shoes, helping to restore your vehicle's stopping power.

These shoes are built with a semi-metallic friction material that's bonded or riveted to the steel shoe, following Original Equipment specifications. The steel shoe itself is dipped in high-temperature, anti-rust black paint to help prevent corrosion and keep them looking good. They're also precision arc ground, which means they're shaped to match the curve of your brake drum perfectly, ensuring good contact right out of the box and helping to reduce break-in time.

DFC tests these shoes in the field and in the lab to make sure they perform reliably and last a good long time. This attention to the bonding process and the grinding ensures you get consistent performance when you need it most.
