EBC 5038 Brake Shoes for E30, E36, Mk1 Golf, Mk2 Golf, Cortina, Spitfire

EBC 5038 brake shoes are the go-to upgrade for classic and lightweight performance chassis where drum brakes still do the heavy lifting - think E30 318i, E36 318i, Mk1 Golf GTI, Mk2 Golf GTI, Ford Cortina, Triumph Spitfire and MG Midget.

• Stage 1 fast road & track day fit - semi-metallic compound delivers sharper initial bite and better fade resistance than stock shoes
• Fits 7" and 8" rear drums - confirmed on Girling 14 and Lockheed 14 units across BMW, Ford, VAG and British Leyland
• No machining or arching needed - pre-formed to match original curvature, ready for drop-in fit
• Not for daily driver comfort-first builds - these are for drivers who want more feedback, less fade, and no compromise on mechanical simplicity
