I know because I had to replace the mini brake shoes when one lost the braking media off the steel shoe. It was a really weird setup, I'll say!

its a normal setup on pickups and such too, but im pretty sure he didnt ask about the ebrake, just the main driving brake... so when it all comes down to it...brake pads to rotors as brake shoes is to drums.

I wanted to be one of those people for a minute......

Anyways, nothing but
