I run drums all the way around and I've had pretty good luck with Raybestos riveted shoes. I noticed that when I removed weight to move from E to D/SA, my car stopped a fair amount better even though it's only about 175 lbs. lighter. I would not recommend using aluminum drums since I developed cracks in mine and went back to cast iron. My .02.
