    rear disc brakes

    I just picked up sei rear brakes for $110 from the local junkyard... ...they wanted me to pay for every single part they could list on the computer, so I took out the trailing arms, calipers and brackets, rotors, brake lines except sei rear hard lines, I tried to get the upper control arms too but gave up. They charged me for the hubs and spindles, dust shields, control arms, adapter brackets, and e-brake cables. I also got the proportional valve so I'm soon to be in the 11" rears club..

    Good luck. The install all together, by myself, without knowing how it's done, took about 6 hours. Probably the best upgrade i ever did.

    if your lucky, the chassis and suspension are in good condition with no rust, then its pain free...no breaker bar needed for me...
