Pete,
I would Switch to the molded shoes. I no longer use woven linings because of the squeaking issue they have. I have had brake vendors tell me it’s the resin that is some of the problem in the woven lining. I know it’s been used for years however the modern woven is different today than it used to be. Its been my experience that the molded either bonded or riveted is much better and compatible today. Ask Randy gross.... he will tell you the same.
I do lots of brake work and will no longer install the woven linings as the will squeak in short time.
