I checked the archives and found people who were going to install the Kevlar shoes from PDB and post their opinions but nobody did. Usually I'm cruising at 55-60 on rolling hills, unloaded (me and the truck), on weekends. So can I hear from some of you with experience before I decide on front discs or kevlar shoes to whoa my 235? Thanks
