Omix-ADA lists 23 vehicle entries for the set and describes its parts as direct OE replacements built to the original specifications. No drum size is stated, so the brake size should be checked against the vehicle.

Before fitting new shoes
Drum brake shoes wear as the friction lining thins, and worn shoes reduce stopping force and can leave the pedal feeling soft. When an axle is opened up, look at the drum surface for scoring or a glazed ring, and check the wheel cylinders for leaks, since new shoes will not stop well against a damaged drum or a leaking cylinder.
Hardware deserves attention too. Return springs, hold-down pins and the self-adjuster should be inspected, and any worn or stretched spring is worth replacing at the same time. Shoes are sold as a set per axle, so both sides of that axle should be done together to keep braking even.
- Inspect the drum for scoring or out-of-round wear
- Check wheel cylinders for leaks
- Replace worn return springs and hold-down hardware
- Lubricate the shoe contact points on the backing plate
