That is only because the rears aren't working properly.

It has the original shoes and drums because they are not doing anything.
You can expect to get a million miles out of these. But that does not make
them a good brake system. Drum brakes are essentially useless after <10,000
miles if you don't keep them adjusted up. Don't count on the automatic
adjusters to do that for you either. But - if you prefer lots of miles to
real braking, then by all means - love them drum brakes.
