Default Rear brake conversion kit

I'm another new guy looking for answers, and trying to save a dollar. Long story short, I was having fade problems with my brakes. I put new pads on from NAPA, 3 months later. I started having problems with my rotors. I replaced the rotors from NAPA $100.00 ea. the same style pads, 3 months later, rotor problems. NAPA warranted the rotors. This time new rotors, cheap pads, turned the drums and replace the rear shoes. 3 months later, the drums out of round. I replaced the rear drums, good stopping power! Drums out of round, out of the box. NAPA turned the drums for free, the stopping power not as good any more. Either I go to Toyota for drums, or I convert to rear disc. Are these conversion kits worth the money??? How much is a conversion kit? Any replies are welcome. Thanking you in advance, Anthony
