over the weekend I rebuilt the front brakes on the Phaeton,i swapped out 1 backing plate.What I found in my parts supply were 2 backing plates with old brake floaters. Are they worth my time to put them on?

Another question, I saw a old old artical on grooving brake shoes.
(Back in the kart racing days I would cut grooves in the clutch shoes,what a difference that made.)
Has anybody tried this? Im not planing on cutting mine,but I would like to know?
Thanks
Wick
