I am having a DEVIL of a time finding semi-metallic shoes for my rear brakes. Yes, I could get riveted organic Raybestos Professionals, but I really would like semi-metallic shoes if they still make them. Which appears like it may be my problem. I used Wagner's catalog to find that part # ANA358AR is a 12x3 semi-metallic severe duty shoe, but I CAN'T FIND ANYPLACE THAT SELLS THE DAMN THINGS!
Raybestos' catalog only lists the organic.
Nor can I find Performance Friction's severe duty shoes for this application. It's almost as if one can only get organic shoes now, and they stopped making anything else. If that's the case, I'm not really OPPOSED to organic, but if anybody knows a place/link for where to come by the semi-metallic shoes, I would be most appreciative, as they do last longer and grip better in cold weather (at least that's what everything I've read says).
