Re: info on the parking brake shoes

The SVX has 190mm drum area rotors like 2005 WRX STIs. Found a set of 848pb at pep boys that fit properly. So bottom line buy from Subaru or make sure you get "848" part number shoes.

Credit for info goes to the peeps on SVX NATION on FaceBook.
Thanks for the info.
