Praise Dyno Brakes

I'm considering using there drum shoes on my 68 Camaro due to having wheels that won't accept disk brake calipers. I'm considering the stage III kit but may just go with the stage I kit instead.
Have you used them and how much better over stock drums shoes are they? Would you buy them again?

While I have not used them yet, I have spoken to many who have, and they all say that they are comparable to stock disk brakes, and they last forever.
There's a couple members here running them.

Thanks Andy, that gives me an idea of the braking performance to expect. Hmmm....

Anyone else?

I bought rotors pads shoes and springs from them for my 95suburban! They made a tremendous differance. I am a little hard on brakes and they didn't last that long but man did they stop!

68suburban has some pics where he was inspecting his 4 wheel drums at like 25,000 miles or something,a nd the shoes still looked brand new.
Those late model burbs are pretty well known for having crappy brakes. I am kinda suprised yours didn't last very long there DJ.
