OK now wait..? Is this a trick question trying to catch someone off-guard? Brake SHOES on a Rear DISC swap? Or are you asking about brake PADS for rear DISCS?

We've had a member very unhappy with Ceramics I do believe it was. Towing a small trailer on a bit of a hilly terrain, they got hot and lacked stopping power badly to the point it was dangerous.

If you're not wanting high dollar, I'd just go with middle of the road Semi Metallic and prefer bonded rather than riveted.

I installed these a couple of weeks ago:

Don't know anything about the brand but I like 'em so far. No dust on the rims that I can see and stopping power feels better than before. I was impressed that they came with new metal spacers and o-rings for where the bolts go through the calipers, first time I've seen that.
