Yes they do. When the Z rears are adjusted up properly the drums will be blue from heat and stock shoes will crumble and can catch fire. Carbotech (and other) shoes will take the heat. To keep the rears working like they should requires adjusting the drum/shoe relationship about every 30 mins of hard operating time.
