Yes, you do.
No. Both types use the same master cylinder.
That's because like on all modern cars the master cylinder operates a split-circuit for safety: one part of the master cylinder piston operates the front left and rear right brakes, the other portion of the piston operates the front right and rear left brakes. That means each half of the piston operates one disc and one drum in your case.
The system is designed that way so that if there's a sudden fluid leak it usually affects only one half of the braking circuit and allows the car to stop safely and in a balanced manner to await recovery.
Yes, AND Delete the Proportioning Valve that you need in a Disc/Drum Layout. In other words… Don't Do it! It has no real advantage. You may stop 1 or 2 feet shorter from 60, so what? Cars are still made with Disc/Drum brakes for one reason: They WORK WELL.

- How to read the wear indicator groove in disc brake pad, Civic? The groove is now about 1 millimeter deep, so I'm thinking it is time to have my mechanic replace them soon. But I don't know how deep they were to begin with. Not sure if I should keep using these for a while or not. Can anyone tell me the original depth of the groove or whether I should wait or act now? 2006 Honda Civic LX sedan, front wheels.
- 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder vs 8 cylinder vs 10 cylinder? Which is better to get? On small sized cars such as Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Lancer and Toyota Corolla you're stuck with 4 cylinder, since 6-cylinder is not available as the option What if I get v8 or v10 vehicles… Is there any problems?
- Have a misfire in cylinder 1 on 99 Honda Accord lx. I change the timing belt. One I change the belt I turn the car on and it turn on normal? A couple minutes later I noticed the misfire can't tell from looking engine. I noticed it for the exhaust. No smoke was coming out. Took it apart to look at the timing and everything lines up. I saw the spark plugs and wires on cylinders 1 and 2 still no difference. Any ideas.
