Hawk did make racing drum shoes that stopped a mustang in the same distance as rear disc. I had them 4 or 5 years ago and it was a totally different car. With drums it heated the shoes so fast they worked with out any heat time and really did a nice job but I would put new drums on the rear instead of turning the old ones.

I would run the Performance Friction "Z" pads from Autozone. THey are the $60 (not $30) ones, and come with a lifetime guarantee. I used to get a new set ever spring for my roadracer

Rear drum brakes are basically unimportant, so get what you want there.

If you _really_ want brakes, then bit the bullit, and get some PBR's with 13" rotors like I did.
