What calipers are on the new rear, stockers or Wilwood/Strange? You will likely need an adjustable prop depending on which calipers and rotors you have. Please reply with more info.

Re: new to site and need help

If you got Wilwood drag brakes the calipers will have a pipe fitting for a brake line connection. You will likely need these parts to connect to your hard lines:

1) -3AN to pipe fitting for the caliper
2) -3AN brake line
3) -3an to hard line fitting.

Good luck.
