Hi Al,
 A lot of the Dwarf guys use Hawk brake pads. You can get them at NAPA Auto Parts.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the info, Tom's posted he uses CarboTech pads from 600 Racing....not sure when he bought them because they don't list them on there site. Finding good front pads seems easy, it's good rear brake shoe's that I can't find.
Later,
Al

Hawk makes the rear shoes also.
I wish I had more info for you. I'll see what else I can find for you.

Here's what I found out:

 Rear brakes account for about 15% of braking power. Not real critical unless your running road courses. Use the ones from 600, or buy from local parts store. Doesn't seem to be a major preference on rear shoes. Although a proportioning valve for front to rear adjustment seems to be the norm.

 Front Pads: 600 has 2 types, aggressive and mid-range. Was suggested that if you are  heavy on the brake to stay away from the aggressive. "They stop you on a dime".

 I can forward the emails to you if you think it will help.
