When I get serious about brakes I go to NAPA. Get their premium pads/shoe and take my rotors and drum along. Have them machined, even if looking pretty good. Then I know if the brakes aren't up to snuff it's something else causing the problem. Be sure to lube the caliper slider bolts and bushings, or buy new ones, so the caliper can move freely back and forth.

Re: 98 lumina poor braking?
Also, surprised there is a 98 model GM car without ABS. Learn something every day on here.
