I think I need to replace my parking brake shoes.
I've adjusted them to spec using the factory procedure (star wheels first, then fine tune the nut under the cupholder), and they don't hold the vehicle against the engine at anything above idle unless I crank the hell out of the lever (well beyond the 45 foot lb 5-7 clicks spec). I might just barely pass my state safety inspection this year (appointment Friday) like this. If not, I'm doing rear shoes this weekend.
Any preferences other than OEM? Generally speaking I prefer OEM unless it is an upgrade to a component, but didn't know if the extra cost is needed for this application.
OEM are sold separately adding up to ~$213 list/~$120 from discount sites. Centric are ~$26 for a set of four.

Parking brake adjustment
I just had new rotors/pads installed and now I have no parking brake. Can I adjust under cup holder or do I need to adjust at the rear brakes too? Thanks Chad
