Terrible Brake Shoe for Performance Cars

This brake shoe was a major letdown for my automotive upgrade. The poor quality and performance made it unfit for any performance vehicle.The only upside is that it was easy to install. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The brake power was lacking and caused my car`s braking system to fail on multiple occasions. Definitely not recommended for any performance car..

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Poor brake power and performance

Poor Quality: Brake Pads

I called Federal-Mogul Corporation. I've been told that most brakes (not all) are made in the US with American and/or foreign parts. The product description says "Designed, tested and certified in the USA by Wagner OE engineers." I bought Wagner Z523 brake pads and got 3mm medium pads; and in the center of the block is about 2-2.5 mm. It's completely illogical and crooked. Remember that new brake pads are usually around 4-5mm. Obviously there is no quality control and this product is a waste of

Pros
  • Drum Brake
Cons
  • Functionality
