Hi does anyone know to any premium brake shoes I can purchase. I fitted new drums and shoes about 3000 mile ago and have got a rubbing sound when braking it's not drum warp as the pedal does not go up and down and I have tracked it down, I think to a shoe problem because if you swop the shoes round they don't do it for a couple of weeks then it starts again. I think a lot of parts you can buy now are very poor quality especially electrical. Thanks.

Try simply filing a chamfer on the leading edge of the friction material on each shoe.
