Advice on rear drums

I found lots of good advice on the front brakes but little on the rear. I have a 2001 SR5 4WD. Is there any issue with just turning the drums when I do the rear shoes or should i consider new drums. I am going with Brembo rotors on the front and would probably use them on the rear unless a cheaper Autozone drum would work.

Get them Turned if their still within specs.

I wouldn't Purchase after market shoes, Go With Toyota Brake Shoes, I Got Raybestos and realized they didn't fit right even after I Adjusted the Adjuster Wheel. So My Mechanic Friend took a look and told me they were the problem. So he got me a set of Toyota Shoes and we put them on and everything went fine after that. So save yourself the trouble that I had. Be Sure to Inspect your wheel cylinders and change them if needed.
