I'm thinking about using them on my charger(the stage-3 set up). I want to keep it as stock as possible.
My brake system needs everything and it looks like I can get everything in one kit.

Did you guys read that he wants to keep it stock? I'm assuming from that and the description of the kit that means 4 wheel drums. Maybe not optimum for hard core braking, but not every car needs that.
That being said, I'm not sure how original those drums or that master cylinder look. Maybe close enough or maybe not. Depends on wheter you're going for concourse correct.

i've used those shoes on 11" drums before. they like heat and don't work real good cold on a manual system. with a power brake booster they stop very good, better than discs i'm using on a 65 b-body, with no fade or lock-up.

no, I read "as stock as possible" and those aftermarket pieces are further from stock than the suggestions made. Read the details of the adverts, it says the parts pictured may not be what you get.(more or less)

Thanks for the info guys.

I know is a bit of $ of drums but I have a numbers matching 68 that I want to keep stockish.
(I want good brakes that work but look stock)

the pic on top of this page: http://www.praisedynobrake.com/prices looks like a mopar system. My charger has the same master cylinder and the fornt drums look the same I think im going to give them a call and see whats up.
