Default rear disk brake parts

i recently bought a whole set of gsr disk brakes( front and rear rotors, trailing arm, caliber, and brake pads) with 2 ebrakes cable .. u guys know anything else i need

i heard that i need a master cylinder, which is optional
proportional valve (optional)
brake lines (optional)

im not sure what else i need to start on my conversion ...
do i really need to change the proportional valve, master cylinder, and brake lines ?? or its only necessary to give u more braking power. .

you do need a different master cylinder. I did a rear wheel disc conversion and you need a master cylinder for the brake system you are using, not what yo have, the porpotioning valve in the master cylinder is different and it is an absolute must. Replacing the brake lines are only necessary if you have bad brake lines, broken cracked, leaking. Other than that you are going to be veryy pleasedwith your new brakes. make sure to also get new pads on all four and turn the rotors!

Somepeople on here would advise just getting new rotars rather than turning them. Check www.buybrakes.com.

Prop valve is a must. Get some braided steel brake lines...

Sure, you can get it to work with your stock master cylinder, but will it work properly when you need it most?

Your brakes aren't something to skimp on dude! If you're going to mess with them, do em right.
