Default rear drum swap

hey guys i was thinking of upgrading my rear drums because a common problem with them is that they retain heat and quickly fade.

i was wondering if a 87 crx hf rear drum would fit on a 95 civic coupe.

the 87's are ribbed aluminum, so they'll morelikly dissipate heat more quickly.
i guess the only thing i need to know id they work or not is the drum diameter and surface width? im pretty sure the bolt patter is the same also.

Why not upgrade to disks instead?

It would probably be more cost and time effective to swap the rear drums for discs instead of other drums.

you can swap the rear for disc for 200 bucks so why would you repair drum brakes
