Re: [Amc-list] brake drums

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Performance Friction pads are also very good (stop great, quite as long 
as you follow the break in procedure, no dusting problems). I had a set 
on my 96 Ram go over 70,000 miles. The biggest thing I liked about them 
was they worked better with a little heat in them which was really nice 
when towing or hauling.
