Are you looking to do it yourself or pay someone? Looking to source the parts yourself or buy a ready to install kit?

You can;t use the stock 14" rims. You need 15" or bigger.

^ haha, Thanks Jasper.

It's stright forward and easy. Everything is just bolt/unbolt. You need the backing plates, rotor, caliper, caliper bracket, rubber brake line, All parking brake components replaced to the backing plate (including the 2 cables). The knuckle, hub, and main brake lines are the same.

The only bitch about it is the bracket that holds the brake cables on under the parking brake handle. Being in NJ, it;s goign to be rusted. BUT, since you'll be having a shop do it, it shouldn't be too bad.
