<VV> craciked brake linings

[Gary Swiatowy]

I was under the impression the riveted linings were the premium linings as 
far as replacements go?
Over the "bonded linings".
Why riveted linings?
They are the better linings..........
Ever have a bonded lining fail? I have!

As for the cracks
they are from heat, and both riveted and bonded linings can do that.
Forget and drive with the e-brake on?

That will do it, so will a lot of spirited driving.
And age will do it to.
