mazdaspeedwest is on a distinguished road

the handbrake cables may need to be swapped as well.

Rear drum is better for stopping. 4 wheel disc just looks cool in appearance. Ive driven some lx's and i still like the rear drum.

All newer proteges 01+ have front disc rear drum. Because the braking distance and power is better than 4 wheel disc.

Or so ive heard.....
