Then you can upgrade to the larger 5 lug brakes by changint the backing plates, drums and all internals. This should be able to be found at a local wrecking yard.
Its not that simple....this kit is splined to work with the OEM rearend. Even if you go to a shop they still respline your originals and or fit adaptor style backing plats. Its almost better to do it correctly and just get a new rearend off a donor...this way you can get better freeway gearing too! BUT the kit is descent too.
