Ok everybody and thier brother is selling good brake pads now, but who makes shoes for drum brakes, they aren't as prevalent. My Cavalier needs some more bite back there.

Did you check with Carbotech? I don't know specifically if they carry brake shoes, but I know they will put their friction material on your backing plates, so maybe they would do the same for shoes.

If Carbotech can't do it, try Porterfield in California. They have been in the custom performance brake business a loooooong time.

Carbotech can hook you up. If they don't have a part number on hand, you could go to Auto Zone, buy a ten dollar set of shoes, and send 'em down to Shelby to have intrepid young Matt make you a set all custom like.

Carbotech owns. They're one of those companies that I don't even think about it, if I need brakes for something I call them.
