Quality drum brake shoes recommendations ?

i'm at 90k on the factor drum and pad, and its about time to replace them. I'm thinking of getting Toyota parts, hoping to get 90k out of them.

I have 192,000 on my original drums and shoes on my Ford Escape. They are at bout 50% now. Not a bad run. I am on my 4th set of rotors though, and probably 6th set of pads.

Easily the best brakes I've ever had on a vehicle too. The things stops on a dime.

my last civic had 386,000 miles and still on the factory shoes and drums. i had purchased the shoes 3 times, but always returned them to the store. i had replaced the front pads 6 times ant the front rotors 3 times.

...are you really sure you need to replace them?
