Best Answer

Front brake shoes have longer (pad) of braking material than rear brake shoes do but are the same part otherwise so you might try using front pads on all four wheels-other than that I don't know and I assume that GM could not figure it out either because none of the first generation toronados have good drum brakes when you need them especially at high speeds-the seem to fade when they get hot

No, they are inferior to disc brakes. Drum brakes were used from the beginning of the auto up until the late 60s. Drum brakes are more prone to overheating than disc brakes. Disc brakes also shed water much better than drum brakes which improves stopping distance in wet conditions. Disc brakes apply pressure more evenly than drum brakes thus improving stopping distance. Disc brakes are superior in every way.
