setup as is, the swap will make your rear brake pad last as long as your fronts.
pads are like what 26 a piece if you go non oem.

changing shoes in a drum is not that bad, if it ever needs to be done. my last car went 338,000 miles on the factory shoes when i sold it. i had purchased them 3 times, and returned them to the store 3 times. shoes last forever if the wheel cylinders do not leak. that is the best benefit. (fronts were serviced/replaced 5x in that time frame)
disks looks pretty, but they require 3x the maintenance...

I was toying with an axle swop when my rear bearings went but i went with new bearings in the end. UK is easy for cheap Yaris spares at this moment in plentiful supply so im lucky with my 1st gen Yaris S the old .rust bucket lives

338,000 miles? Makes me think they weren't adjusted properly.

Yeah, I went 90k miles with mine. About 165k km. Had about 2mm left and only ajusted them twice in its life time. 8 years.


I wonder how long the new ones last. I'm having them adjusted every other year now. And the front brake serviced. They have never looked so great before.

I used to never touch them until they need to be replaced lol

i adjusted them every time i replaced the front pads/rotors. i would even buy a set of shoes. they looked good; i'd clean the drum/springs,adjuster and scuff up the contact surface, and adjust the drag and return the shoes to the store. the contact material is 4mm new. i did a lot of highway driving at the time, so the millage is not that fair. i drove the car often, and accumulated 338,000 over like 13 years...
