Benifits of new oxygen sensors?

If you are talking front pads vs. back shoes, yes. Front brakes supply about 75-80% of stopping power. They do a test on your car over here in Germany, and they look at that and the balance between the left and right. The inspectors told me that 75% is average.

If everything is working right in your system and kept adjusted properly you can. the brakes in cars work really slick. the back brakes apply first then the front brakes take over with the most pressure to stop the car. In this way the car keeps the body more level giving you better controll because the front of the car isn't allowed to nose dive when you stop. So the front brakes are doing three times the work from the pressure applied when stopping then the back brakes are doing.

'89 Honda Accord won't turn over?

That is a fallacy! neglecting the rear brakes Is dangerous! It takes the front and rear brakes to stop the car and you can expect brake wear front and rear.

how much would it cost if the arm of my wheeel on my car is broken?

Seems right to me. The front brakes do 75% or more of total braking. Also with disc brakes, the pads are ALWAYS in contact with the rotors which albeit slightly produces rolling resistance, friction, heat and pad wear. When drum brakes are released (not in use for braking) the shoes have no contact at all with the drums.

Yes, but I wouls check them when I change my front pads. Here is a tip, when you do change your shoes in the back, get the drum surface re-cut you might be surprised at how easy your drum go out of round. I had mine re surfaced and they were warped and like egg shaped, after they were re-cut it made a big difference in my braking and the feel of the pedal was so solid.

In my experience you can do that but I also look at the shoes and make sure they are doing their job.
