Thanks for any info.

well if the ceramic shoes are anywhere near as good as the ceramic pads i would buy em in a heartbeat. i know the ceramic pads on the front of my truck are awesome. and i have probably put ceramic brake pads on over 100 cars and they all stopped much better with the ceramics compared to regular semi metallics

If you look closely at the box, you'll see Praise Dyno Brake. "Brake in a Box" is their new marketing effort. PDB sells direct, so check with them to compare prices and verify part numbers for your application. I highly recommend you peruse their website to view their upgrade options. I think they make the best brake upgrade parts out there for non-race vehicles. Especially for muscle cars and our trucks. And it's all stock sized stuff so you can source replacment parts anywhere in an emergency.

Board members recently discussed PDB stuff on this thread.

I guess I didn't look close enough. I know about praise dyno brakes. Thanks for the heads up.

It looks like the Praise Dyno setup I bought minus the bigger drums.
I like mine alot and I didn't have to do the welding and buy bigger wheels to accomodate the calipers on a disc setup. I think that with discs upfront and a kit like this in back, you've got all the braking you'll need.

Anytime.

My good eyes come in handy. Or maybe it was my PowerBookG4's display.

Seriously, if you price the same brake package at both PDB and the ebay site, post the difference here. As a PDB user, I'd like to know if a cheaper source exists separate from buying direct from PDB. Several board members also use PDB stuff, so I expect they would be interested, as well.

I was looking at the stuff and I thought was another gimmick, but now I will spend the extra bucks and put a kit like that in the rear of my Monte
