As Joe said, the cylinders you can get anywhere. Some are cheaper than others. If you want ATE:

I had my brake shoes redone by a shop on the east cost. I believe around $ 140. If interested, you can PM me and I will find the contact.

if you don't mind having the car out of operation for a while send you shoes out for re lining.

the other summer i sent both shoes and drums out for relining.
