Advantage of disc brake rather drum brake?
Disc brakes are generally considered superior to drum brakes for several reasons. First, they dissipate heat better (brakes work by converting motion energy to heat energy). Under severe usage, such as repeated hard stops or riding the brakes down a long incline, disc brakes take longer to lose effectiveness (a condition known as brake fade). Disc brakes also perform better in wet weather, because centrifugal force tends to fling water off the brake disc and keep it dry, whereas drum brakes will collect some water on the inside surface where the brake shoes contact the drums. A drum brake may be a better choice if you are running through mud but that is about the only time it might be a better choice. Large trucks use all drum brakes because of the massive amount of surface area that the brake shoes need in order to stop the vehicle because of the weight. They are usually always air assisted over certain GVW ex.18,000 lbs. A drum is better when used as a parking brake.

If the rear look like the front, then they are also disc brakes. However if the rear look much different, then chances are they are drum.
