Subject:      '88 Brakes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

It's time to do a brake job on the van.  Any recommendations from the list
as to what pads and shoes to install or to avoid?  Any experience with
drilled rotors?  The van is an automatic, so it's more susceptible to fade
than manuals (don't downshift).  I realize that this will cost more than on
your average vehicle, so I'm looking for the best value, not necessarily the
cheapest.  I've done brakes before on other vehicles, so I'm not looking for
generalities.  I did try to search the archive but didn't have much luck, if
this has been discussed ad infinitum, could you point me to a time frame?


Thanks,


Mike Pedersen
