Exclamation 99 Civic VP Brake System-Help needed

Hi,
I have a 99 civic 130K miles on it and want to get the brakes serviced.
Does my model have the following:

Front Disc [Rotor] w/ Brake Pads and
Rear Drum w/ Brake Shoes.

[I buy 2 Front Rotors, 2 Brake Pads, 2 Drums for Rear, 2 Brake Shoes for Rear]
I haven't serviced my brakes in years and I guess I do it all once, as It isn't that good.

I am asking this, so that I can confirm and buy these parts and get it done in a service place [Gas station mechanic paying the labor].

Can someone help, and if this is a good idea.
Thanks in advance

if your rotors and drums arent cracked or broke then just have them turned..
the rear brakes/drums are probably still like new unless you use ebrake alot.
and when you buy front brakes they come with all brake pads for the front you only need 1 box. and the same with the rear only need 1 box.

If you buy Honda OEM shoes you have to buy 4, because each shoe is a separate piece.
