you'd only need the rear z ebrake assy if you upgrade to REAR Z brakes and want an E brake you can upgrade to Z brakes in the rear but you wont have an E brake
stock calipers are fine in the rear GOOD brake pads are where its all at.

No, no one have ever done it. Ever. Not in the 21 years the cars have been on the road.

Seriously, you guys spoonfeeding this worthless fuck should be ashamed of yourselves.

I'm not defending his lack of searching at all. I agree he should be able to find basic info. There's a way to tell someone that without going too far.
