So I was changing my mothers rear Rotors on her 04, 4Runner and noticed her rear disk had Drums in the hub. My dad said his 85 GT-S Convertible also had Drums in the Disk hubs and he said mine would probably have Drums. I havent taken my Disk off but the hubs on my 98 GT are pretty big. So my question is do our cars have Drums inside the disk hubs?

yes the gt's do.

i was surprised to find this too back in the day when i first got my celi. i dont understand why the parking brake cant work through the caliper like alot of other cars have.

Toyota likes to over-engineer, which tends to be good for reliability though also why when something breaks it's not cheap.

My Supra's the same. Drums are better for parking brakes because they self energize whereas Disc brakes can slip easier. Only if they're set up right though.

actually i would rather have the disc e-brake design than our drum type. the disc type i find holds better, simpler, lighter, reliable and gives you one less set of brake pads to worry about.

However, the dual system gives you redundancy in the case of failure; a caliper seizes and you still have a working set of brakes.

And the drum brake is MUCH less likely to warp the rotor when it's set, unlike the disc brake.

You shouldn't be wearing out your E brake shoes, if you are they're probably out of adjustment.

Do the GTS have rear disc brakes, or are they drums too?

The GTS (Canada only) would have rear discs, with the internal drum e-brake.
