Seems like I remember reading a post about some rear brake shoes that had a slightly larger contact surface than the stockers and softer compound for holding more boost????
And they must fit on the stocker drums

Anyone know what I might be thinking of?
 
There are short shoes and long shoes in a box of brakes (one side). The backing strip is the same. I just bought two pairs of brakes and turned the two boxes of short shoes back as cores.

The guy at one autozone argued with me so I went to another to get my core charge.
 
So I need to buy 2 sets of shoes (total of 8 shoes) and only use the 4 long sides in each box and toss/trade-in the 4 short sides in the box?
 
Thanks UNGN, I found my answer, yes I need to buy 2 sets and only use the larger pads out of each.....now I need to figure out why the pass rear isn't grabbing at all, power braked it and the drum on that side was not hot at all..probably the auto adjuster not working.
Put in a rear brake jumper and it made no difference at all in holding the rears!! none.
 
Just changed to the correct (softer) shoes this weekend, can hold 15+ lbs with only two long shoes, and vacuum brakes. Get 'em hot though, and will only hold 5-7 lbs until they cool down again.
