Looking through my previous posts, I would like to add a little to my last post above. All the parts that are new are made in China, the rear rotors wouldn't fit over the stock axles until we turned the rotor's .030 and ground down the rough edges of the axles (turned the inside of the rotor where e-brake shoes would be on newer vehicles), had to finish drilling the supplied banjo bolt (made in China) so that fluid would pass through it (took a while to figure out why the caliper wouldn't bleed!), the rear caliper holders had to be ground down so the caliper would fit into it, and bought three inch longer e-brake cables instead of using a generic Lokar universal kit.
One said and done, the car stops great, but it definitely wasn't "as advertised" as to the ease of installation and the "no modifications required". My advice is to buy the spindles only and get everything else from the parts house remanufactured or the wrecking yard (caliper brackets and backing plates)!
