Ok, so maybe I'm just hoping someone will support my laziness but here goes. Need new drum brakes. I've been putting it off. Braking is getting a little bit harder and I can hear them grind as I brake sometimes. But since its FWD and most of the brake power is in the discs, is it dangerous? Or will it be fine if I keep putting it off a little longer?

I swap rear dise brakes about 3 year ago.
But, I think rear drum brakes is better than rear dise break if you wanna drift.
When I use rear drum brakes I can drift at the conner u-turn of the street.
But, when I use rear dise brakes I can't do it...!

^^ Adjusted the cable. The e-brake mechanism could be worn.
