This kit came from DoctorDiff on moparts. Napa Toyota 10.7" rotors - comes stock with BBP, redrilled for 4" SBP. Brand new loaded ford racing (equivalent of mopar performance aftermarket line) mustang cobra calipers with parking brakes. Custom parking brake cables, came with stainless flex hoses as well. Total shipped was $675. The only parts I had to add were hoseclamps to secure the line brackets to the axle, some steel hardline & fittings, and the adjustable valve.

It only required some minor massaging. The axle flange stud holes had to be enlarged a couple thousandths - they were waterjet cut and wasn't perfect, wouldn't fit over axle flange studs by just a hair. The calipers grazed the wheel so I took about 1/16" off the caliper with a grinder. Later come to find out one of my wheels was out of round and it wasn't necessary to shave the caliper. No big deal, the calipers are extremely beefy.

The parking brake cable bracket that joins the main cable to each caliper cable - one hole needed a little enlarging, the nub at the end of the custom cables was a bit bigger then the hole.

I was, and still am using a master cylinder from a 5th avenue I think - I forgot exact app, all I know is it was 1 1/32" bore. Front brakes are the stock KH discs. The prop valve I had was stock as well - I removed the proportioning guts to it, and plumbed in an adjustable valve between the master and stock unit.

Here are some pix.

Thanks, Pierre! I was always wondering if someone would come up with a SBP rear disk option to match my KH front brakes. Now I know! Nice work!
