<VV> Brake shoes

You're right, it is a bit tricky. 

For the LM owners, they're in luck. NAPA AE shoes are made by Raybestos,the catalogs are identical except for the covers. 

TS Pads aren't the cheapest grade NAPA sells (True Stop, but the AE's are always recommended by me. 

Now if you have a volvo (ugh) or a Tennesee Chevrolet (Saturn), there are NAPA AE's that fit---don't buy them, get them at the dealer! You'll pay more, but experience bears out the dealer pads don't squeal as much (differences in the friction material), and wear much longer.
