Do you have the original ones or ones that are on the car now? We can have Carbotech reline them.
Carbotech™ 913 Kelated Metallic™
A D.O.T.-approved high-performance compound for brake shoes on high performance street vehicles and race cars. Carbotech™ Kelated Metallic (CKM) achieves a very high coefficient of friction (approx. 0.48 to 0.50) by taking advantage of a chemical reaction within the friction mass, which creates a tri-alloy metallic film at the liner/drum interface when subjected to heat and pressure. Designed to overcome the shortcomings of other liner materials, CKM is a very versatile and provides excellent braking performance in a wide variety of applications. Excellent wear characteristics and a very high resistance to lock-up under hard braking. Optimal recommended operating temperature range is from ambient to 750°F.

Getting ready to order the brake shoes for my 1959 and I am wondering what brand is the best? So much price difference it is hard to pick one out of the group (Wagner, AC Delco, GM etc). Is one really any better than another? Metallic? Any advise is welcome. Thanks......
