3.42 posi rear end from Police z28 $50

I just found a rear end from a 92 B4C Police Package Z28 Camaro. It has 3.42 gears with a Posi unit and is ready for rear disc breaks. This is the larger 7 5/8 10 bolt rear end. The unit also has Spohn lower control arm relocation brackets attached. Is this a good deal? (probably a dumb question)

Would this be hard to install? Will it fit? What exactly will the lower control arm relocation brackets do? and will they make it harder to install?
The word relocation scares me.

I have a 91 305 tbi. Would I be better off just buying 3.42 gears and a posi unit seperate and then installing them?

sounds like a deal!!

the rear itself will bolt in no problem.

so it doesnt come with the breaks? "ready for rear disc breaks.."
do u have disk breaks already to put on?

the relocation brackets aid in traction and are around 70 bucks buy them selves.

Is it worth it though to drive across country?

I don't have the rear discs brakes to put on them. Could I get the front break assembly from a camaro and put them on the rear of my new rear end?

you need the rear ones. what year is it from? does it have the mounting brackets for the calipers on it? I got my other 10 bolt 3:42 posi from a b4c camaro 91 or 92 rs can't remember the year for sure. any way it makes a differance on the calipers (88-up are aluminum) (88-down are iron). I have mounting brackets for the 10 bolt with the iron rear calipers if you have a hard time finding them. (should be easy though) even some good core calipers if you need to get remaned ones (sitting for a while so I am sure they will leak)
