disc = better braking power.
shorter distance if u do the install right

get the drum from SE, XLE of the same year/model from the junk yard.
cost, depends on u but should be less than $400 + labor

if you have ABS, i would not touch it cos it might be complicated..

do a search, ppl have done it before and have instructions on TN

i would spend your money on the front brakes they do most of the work n e way
also if you have a manual tranny you would need to find a way to rig up your parking brake
