It's my understand that most of the braking efficiency is at the front the rears never really get exercised. I try and remember to brake hard a couple of times a month to remove any rust on the rear discs.
Done a few handbrakes and never seen any pitting on the inside of the drum, probably the shoes are glazed and when roughed up with a dreadnought file and adjusted you'll notice a marked improvement.
