Roger, there is no single answer for your question. Different suppliers use different compositions to create what the supplier thinks is a good compromise between stopping ability and wear. With mechanical brakes, look for bias toward stopping. Longevity should be a minor consideration in a car that is not used as a daily driver.

Dan, you are correct, and on second thought, let's hope the coefficient of my jest is smiles all 'round, as I'm afraid a punch in the nose would be most dynamic.

Roger, the dynamic foot pedal pressure required to skid a Ford to a stop with woven shoes is equal to the pressure needed to break 3 eggsh*lls per each 15 MPH. Under the same circumstances, dynamically speaking, molded shoes will require 5.25 egsh*ll pressures to produce the same skidmarks. Upon close examination of both sets of skidmarks, experts agree 2 to 1 that they cannot agree as to which set was which. All of which proves nothing, and the only true experts on the subject, really, are the eggsh*lls who were actually on the scene to witness the test first hand.

Anyone have dynamic coefficient of friction values for woven and molded brake linings against steel? Thanks! Roger J.
