Rear Brakes

I was wondering who makes a Rear Brakes, not just the pads and rotors. I seem to find only kits with the Front Brakes only. Please Help.

Z brakes bolt up. However, if you don't get the ENTIRE setup, you'll lose your e-brake...

^^^Exactly

Most people only upgrade the rotors,pads and lines since most of the braking is done in the front and not the rear

can use the Z two piston rear.

there is a kit that uses wilbrow?? brakes for the rears. have to custom fit them a little cuz they are for a 300zx but if they work for that car they should work for ours...basically the first one is the best choice.

i have the Z brakes front and back, the rears along with the MC made a huge difference over having just the front z brakes, its more predictable as to when the brakes will lock.

stupid hall mates.......
well anyways, i got the rear z spindle ebrake rotor and the calipers, took the spindle off and bolted everything to my s14 spindle, the only thing is thats bad about it is that you have to either extend the Z ebrake line or cut the 240 ebrake line and weld/tie together the ebrake lines, the Z lines are about a foot or foot and a half too short
im running w/o the ebrake right now...i got tired of having my car on the lift for 3 days and i sed screw it, ill finish the job after midterms or sump.

they also look GOOD~

i dont know what you would call ENTIRE Dissasemblment...but...all you have ot do is take off the rear spindle....thats unbolting the 4 bolts in the rear...unbolting the driveshaft..and the other 4 bolts that hold the hub. then...ur half way done...everything took me about 4 hrs....thats taking off the spindle...putting the z backingplate bla bla...putting everything back....Brake fluid FLUSH...(i hate bleeding brakes) hey..i mean if you have tools...well worth it...
