Thank you Remcafee... well fudge, I thought I found the correct part numbers. Would you be able to tell me what 47323-52110 and 47324-52100 are? Because those are what I ordered.

tires are what affects your stopping distance in all reality

Tires will definitely help your stopping power, no argument there.

In my experience, since my DeeDee (Yaris) don't have ABS, I've locked my front wheels more than a few times, due to my rear drum brakes fading, going down a hill and suddenly stopping at a traffic light. I believe its the rear brakes, because they were great for the first 6 months when I first replaced them, never locked my wheels and they supposedly should last longer than the front disc because the front brakes takes most of the weight and beating. It's starting to get colder here in MD and it seems to be helping cool the drums which have prevented me from locking up, or maybe it's just my imagination.
DeeDee is the third car I've owned without ABS. First was a 1973 VW Beetle, which I bought to learn how to drive a manual, it had 4 drum brakes!!! I locked the front wheels often because she just wouldn't stop sometimes, I later found that the previous owner had plugged the hole in the brake fluid reservoir leading to the rear because there's a leak somewhere in the hardline going to the rear. The second car I owed that didn't have ABS was a 92 Prelude, which had all disc brakes. I only locked up the wheels a couple of times when I first got her, before I've learned how to control my braking with that car. I was a lot younger then and more aggressive driver then than now.
So I'm definitely onboard with getting all 4 disc brakes.
I hope someone found my experiences useful.
