Another option that sounds more pricey is to call "Carbotech." They
can reccommend a material and reline your pads / shoes. Thing is,
you have to turn the drums / discs to get the old material off and
then bed the brakes. Shoes / Pads ran me $280 They have many
available friction materials available.
