E-Brake Shoes\Hardware - Where to buy them?

[nerfbars]

I just bought a 95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD. I want to replace my rear parking brake shoes and hardware. Does any aftermarket supplier make them, so far the dealer is the only place I found them and they want a mint for them. If you know of any parts store that can get them I would appreciate it!

Thanks

If you're not hearing a grinding when applying the emergency brake (which you shouldn't be using while moving), you don't need shoes. Have you adjusted the handle?

I turned my rear rotors and changed the pad. When I had it apart I found that the hold down cup and pin for the e-brake shoes had partially popped off and bent and was rubbing against the hub. I straightened it out and I think it will be ok. The shoes dont look like they have much linning left and since I have a turbo timer I want them in tip top shape so they'll hold my car wherever I park it. The dealer wants like $200 for shoes and hardware, but from the sounds of it there the only one that has them.

Holy crap. I'd hit one in a junkyard first. No listing at NAPA? Sounds like a previous owner was into handbrake turns. If you have any lining at all, it'll be plenty to hold the car when parked. Lining is for carrying off heat under dynamic braking; at a stop, only enough to get some grip is enough.

These are probably considered non wearable items. I hightly doubt that a normal parts store will have them.

If they are properly adjusted they will have the exact same holding power as a new set. Don't waste your money unless they have issues.
