You do realize that this question was answered in a thread about 5 topics down. "Cheapest rear disc brake setup" or something along those lines..

Not to be an *** but do a search for "rear brake swap" and you should get a lot of info. But I feel like typing so here's a short answer:

As for the parts, yes, you can buy all the parts at a dealer or a parts store but it will run you a lot, a whole lot. You can buy used setups or complete kits to swap the brakes over. Here's a short rundown of what you'll need:

rotors, calipers, carriers, carrier bolts, backing plates, pads, e-brake cables, 3 pc flex lines, 2 pc hard axle lines, banjo bolts, cursh washers.

You probably can't find the backing plates at AZ but you should be able to get the rest.
