Calipers, pads, discs, hoses, brake lines, backing plate, axle retaining plate, disc brake axle seals, handbrake cable, HB shoe retaining pins, HB shoes, upper/lower HB shoe spings, adjusting mechanism, HB actuating lever. That's most of it. Calipers, pads, discs, hoses, brake lines, backing plate, axle retaining plate, disc brake axle seals, handbrake cable, HB shoe retaining pins, HB shoes, upper/lower HB shoe spings, adjusting mechanism, HB actuating lever. That's most of it. Edit: or just grab complete VN-VS live axle brake set up, turn it upside down, get some custom brake lines cut to length (~$40 a pair), and a VL disc brake handvrake cable.

just read it then, and thanks for that info 5spdvl. abit offtopic here, but this will save making another thread. What sort of power can a standard VLT diff handle? I know all are different but is it un heard of them to handle up to 320fwkw?

Does anyone know if this will bolt up to an R31 Skyline diff? They use the same diff but I wanted to check before buying all the stuff. Thanks.
