Unless you're prepared to do alot of work by pressing out shit and swapping discs onto your existing trailing arms, etc etc, it'll be ALOT easier to buy the whole assembly [arms, rotors, calipers, hand brake cables] and slap them puppies on!

Besides, if you wanted to go the hard route [as mentioned above], you'd have to buy everything off the disc brake trailing arm assembly anyways, the wrecker wont have a use for a pair of bare trailing arms just like you... which will mean you pay the same price.

yeah...i have the front and rear 4 lugs around-> everything is still intact, condition excellent , no rust , never been so clean too...

but i'm not thinking of seperating..unless you find someone who wants the front and you take the rear

not seperating out the rear hubs, rotors and calipers...but i can find you some one to buy the front....but you will have to split the cost 50-50 or 60-40 which ever you want to work it out with the other person....LMK
