Re: [Chrysler300] front brake shoes

["mgoodknight@xxxxxxxx" <mgoodknight@xxxxxxxx>]

First of all----diminished braking capability is a certainty.   I can't imagine why you might want that even though with conservative driving techniques you'll be safe enough.
Second---- the wheel cylinder pushes on the center of the brake shoes' width.  If your narrower shoe rests properly against the backplate (which I doubt) then your wheel cylinder geometry is upset by a quarter of an inch.  I don't think you can fit them to your system.  You might get away with putting narrow lining on the original width shoe.
