My title sums up my question pretty well, I'm looking at brakes for my 2003 EX and I see options for cars with either an integrated or drum-style parking brake, I don't see this information in the manual. Does someone know? How can I tell?

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

I don't see answers flooding in yet from the people who've worked on them, but I recall seeing a message thread or two here saying that it's integrated and not a drum type brake. Being too lazy and my E still too new to bother with it, I haven't had opportunity to look yet.

One thing I expect to see soon is a flurry of jabs from people wanting to know why you haven't filled in your vehicle's details yet in the profile.

The rear wheels have both an inner drum, and outer disk ring.

On these parts catalogs, there are separate pages for the disk and calipers, and for the parking brake shoe. Compare the rear disk with the front, and you will see that the disk part isn't as wide.

Hmmm! It's raining outside but you've got my curiosity piqued. I haven't noticed the inner drum on mine although I wondered how that purely mechanical hand brake was operating the calipers. Thanks!
