Superman,

I have the 86 arms. The VW brake shoe diameter is a little bigger than the Porsche one, also the the bottom of the VW shoe is square and the Porsche one is trianglar where it rests on a molded block on the trailing arm housing. Looking at the picture on Pelican Parts website I would call the shoes identical, however looking at them side by side there are obvious differences. Hell I got pretty excited there for a moment! I'd rather pay $14.00 for e-brake shoes than $120.00 for the Porsche ones!
