Brake linings

[Gold Digger]

I know I may get different opinions but its coming time to replace my brake linings. I wonder which is the best way to go on linings, woven or molded? I have woven now and have cast iron drums in front but have new cast iron drums for the back when I redo the brake job. I want the best stopping power using cast iron drums. My brakes now with woven linings is fairly good and improved a lot when I replaced the front drums with cast iron.

JMO, I would go with Randy's molded brake shoes on cast iron drums.

Snyders says that the molded lining is better than woven with cast iron drums, see https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/product.htm?pid=977519&cat=41655

I have the Randy Gross molded shoes. Far superior to the woven shoes. The stop really well. Best Model Brake vendor in the country!!
