Has anybody replaced their parking brake shoes on their GT? I want to know if the shoes are something most auto stores carry or a dealer only item. NAPA said they showed them but they were the same part number as the ST rear shoes, which I think is not right.

The ST has drum brakes anyways so when you pull the ebrake up it just uses the same brake shoes that you use to stop with. So doing a rear disc swap would make it more costly for you since you don't have the ebrake shoes on your car to begin with, only the GT's do. Now back on topic: $140 for those shoes?!! Is Toyota on Crack?!!
