Anyone Use Praise Dyno Brake Products?

The rear brakes on my 3rd gen need to be replaced. I don't want the cost or hassle of converting to discs, but I would like to increase performance of the rear drum set-up if possible.

Does anyone have experience with Praise Dyno's matrix shoes, cryo treated drums and cylinder/hardware kit?

Thanks

I am thinking about going this route for my 66.

I have the MP Power brakes on the rear of my Acadian. These things are huge compared to the stock brakes. The car stops great.

How long and how hard was it to convert over to the large rear brakes??

They come all pre-assembled. Just a matter of pulling the axles, remove the old brakes and install the new ones. Couple of hour work involved.

I have a friend with a 65 Nova, drum brakes all around with Praise linings--it stopped from 137 at Carlsbad drags which had the shortest shut-off area of any dragstrip I've ever seen. They worked very well.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

I have seen the 11 inch set-ups but never really considered them. That said, I am leaning towards the Praise Dyno shoes & drums. Hmm...decisions, decisions:)
