<VV> Brake update and shoe question

[Stephen Upham]

I had the drums checked yesterday and they are in round and within  
0.010 of original with very good surfaces.   This has now been  
eliminated as a source of the rubbing.  I had ordered a complete set  
of new springs and have installed the front springs and shoes.  I  
also installed the other two of the new set of shoes on the passenger  
side.  At the time, I had forgotten that shoes needed to be replaced  
in sets (front or back) when I replaced the driver's side shoes about  
500 miles ago when I had the leaking wheel cylinder on that side.   
I'm cutting my disassembly and reassembly time on each wheel with  
practice, practice, and more practice ...  ggg.  I've decided to  
replace the rear shoes also.  I would like some opinion on the  
preferred make of shoes that I have to choose from locally.  There is  
Raybestos ($42.50), Wagner ($33) and the cheapos True Stop (NAPA),  
ProStop (PEP Boys), and BrakeBest (O'Reilly's) and Duralast (Auto  
Zone) that are in the $13 to $20 range.  Decelerating minds want to  
know.

P.S. I haven't forgotten about the m/c - pedal adjustment.  I'm just  
replacing, updating and checking my way towards that.
