what do you guys run ? ive seen woven material from mckenzies thats supposed to be the best but have heard it chews up drums? also kartek has some semi metallic linings that are supposed to be good and easy on the drums. any info or experiences are appreciated

I run stock and adjust them before each race and I've had no problems.

Stock whatever is available. I don't worry about that, just make sure you adjust them right before the race. If you adjust them right and your brakes are bled, you'll have no problemos. Stock shoes with dirt chew up the drums enough on their own, I wouldn't want more material lost.

thanks for the info
