Hi,
Drums are better at braking due to the more contact area the shoes have with the drum. Problem is the drum is not good at disapating the heat and with hard and continual application they get too hot and warp the drum, boil the fluid. Not good.
So, for normal driving, rear drums are fine. But, I agree with the others, the front brake upgrade would be better. Also get rear discs if you're gonna be doing a lot of hard braking. Also, if the engineer wants it, and he won't pass it without it, then I suppose you just gotta get rear discs.
