i got mine from the local carquest (and like them pretty good) but im pretty sure these are the same ones from autozone

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/ ... 1_0_0_2243

all you need to mount these are a piece of 2" flat bar at least 1/4" thick and drill 2 holes and weld it to the trailing arm then bolt the "floating" caliper and bracket to the the flat plate

of course you need to "fit" everything as you go and try to get the caliper as low or close to the top edge of the rotor as possible without it scrubbing to get as much of the pad as possible to make contact with the face of the rotor ( this is true for any rotor and or caliper setup )

make sure to get 4 bolts to mount the threaded "floating" caliper bracket to the welded on flat bar bracket, it seems like they some kind of oddball metric size or thread pitch but i cant remember what it was

also i mounted the left caliper on the right and the right on the left to get the bleeder plugs "on top"

I run 89 sentra brakes on mine and they work great. They've never felled me yet.
