    Not even close to Rally Status. Good point!

    Because you lose the rubber to steel interface.
    It's really a "no brainer" that knowledgable folks will always install.
    They are not expensive either.
    Kinda what I thought, but, think too, that kind of precision in steering should be fun.

    One of my air cooled is a ‘92 964. To me, excellent brakes. The rest, are all 356 save for the 911T: PreA, A, 2xB. Always have the shoes arced to fit the drum. Still need a little time to bed, but once there, stopping power is good…. For a 356.

    Thanks to everyone with your replies. Appreciated!

    Have you checked your suspension rubber? Perfect timing.
