If you have Z28, you have discs on all 4 corners.

look behind your rims. do the front brakes look like the back brakes? if they do, you have disc. if not, more than likely the back are drums and the front is disc. (ibanez6rg is right though, if you have a v8, you probably have disc)

a disc looks like a disc, and a drum looks like a big round and probably rusty circle. But if its a v8 then you have 4 wheel discs.
