If they can supply rear shoes for the Vanagon I will try a set. Fun Bus is
getting ready. Soon after the paint shop it is getting a big brake front kit
and the 235/55-17 Nokian GR2-AW tires on the American Racing wheels.

Anyone used these R4-S on their Vanagon? If so, was braking performance
improved?

Curious if they compare to the dealership shoes Dennis Haynes has referred
to.
