I would first change your brake fluid. This is the most overlooked part of the braking system. 30 year old brake fluid will contain a lot of moisture, moisture reduces the boiling point. Boiling fluid means brake fade. Second I would check the adjustments. It you do decide to change the shoes, check out www.praisedynobrake.com
