Brake booster, Master cylinder, prop valve, trailing arms w/ calipers and rotors attatched, brake lines I believe, not sure about hub assembly.

well, no...

if I were to list all the part #s individually, you'd **** your pants.

instead, just buy an entire assembly of parts, that way you don't have to chase down random bits.

but basically, if you buy complete assemblies, then the parts spec'd above will suffice.

this isn't of the first things you'd do to your ride, it's not even that necessary if it's fast...this is only something you do if you got $$$ laying around

even if you go big power, just get biger discs upfront

u may need rear disk suspension with ABS sensors. I haven't tried that but I think the abs lines should right plug in.
