At a hundred bucks each, I wouldn't call cylinders "stupidly cheap".
Called the local Toyota dealer, who said the cylinders are $102 each, and
the brake shoes are $157 for a set of four, so that's about $400 with tax.
Toyota doesn't sell a rebuild/repair kit for the rear brake cylinders.
I'll look around for better parts although I need to know the friction
ratings to compare shoes apples to apples.
