Icon5 Stupid question regarding replacement brake shoes

Does a set of replacement rear brake shoes (Honda part 43053-SR3-A01) include a set for both left and right wheels, or do I have to purchase two of the above part numbers?

Any recommended aftermarket vendor to suggest? This Amazon item
Amazon Amazon
says "Monroe BX546 Brake Shoe" and I have visions of receiving one shoe LOL. The price is too good to be true.

This is only the second set of shoes I installed in 20 years so it's been a while since I bought replacements.

I think a better question is why people keep buying car parts on amazon?

Hawk performance pads would be my suggestion

And yes, but he's looking for rear drum. I'm not 100%, so this is a best guess, but I doubt Hawk makes drum.

that is the price for the set. it's just that cheap nowadays.

nothing wrong with ordering from amazon, as long as you know what you are looking for.

If I was looking for brake pads I would have asked about brake pads.

Any aftermarket vendors to suggest, or should I really pay my local Honda dealer close to $100 for a set?

I don't care about Amazon, that was just an example. I can't find any brake shoes at all for a 92 Civic from Majestic Honda so I'm open to suggestions.

I've always had luck with Wearever Gold or Platinum shoes and pads.
