Yes, I haven’t seen front drums in at least 20 years

The Honda Civic Si went to four wheel disk brakes in 1992, over 30 years ago.

Last time I had to touch drum brakes was in 1991 and I'm very (very very) happy about that. Drum brakes are a maintenance nightmare I never again want to experience. I'd rather adjust carburator jets all night before working on drum brakes again.
