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?
don't put stuff like that off

agreed, the longer you wait the more damage caused.Originally Posted by 'A20A3'
plus it's dangerous. brakes aren't that expensive.

yup get new shoes and make sure your drum is smooth....might have to resurface it.

Re: drum brakes
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.
