Rear shoe upgrade?

Does anyone make rear shoes meant for performance? With a higher mu and less prone to fade and heat? Im upgrading the front and would like to keep a fairly normal brake bias. Thanks

i think most people just switch over to rear discs when it comes to rear performace brakes.

I remember seeing a FERODO performance drum linings when I was in Japan...for around $80.. Let me see if I can dig up a part #... I think that the compound was similar to a DS2000...

Yea man, check this out: :: #1 Race Specialist in The World :: »

You'll have to call and a woman will answer who will get them for you. They have rear shoes in the R4-S compound (street) for Fits. Of course you should probably get the front pads as well to match.

I have the set but haven't put them on yet (no time). Also will be rockin Brembo slotted rotors in the OEM size.

No way a Fit needs rear discs except for looks, but they do look good .
