HELP!!! Cant find 85 brake SHOES anywhere!

Ive asked about 6 shops and they all have said the same thing. I need rear brake SHOES (12a motor, rear drum brakes) for my 85 rx7 GS. I can find the front ones everywhere but NO ONE seems to know where i can get a set of OEM comparable rear brake shoes and i need them despratley!! Anyone have any idea?!?!?!?!?

PS: i DID find one place that had some upgraded performance rear brake shoes but they were like $65. I would like to just get OEM comparable ones because $65 is allot for brake shoes!!!! Any help would be appriciated.

www.victoriabritish.com - order a catalogue.. it's free, delivered to your door seasonly. Well worth it.

www.mazdatrix.com also has them.

Check a NAPA Autoparts. They have/can get them.

And in Canada, you can go to Canadian Tire, which is where I got mine for my '84.
