Right; you'll need parking brake cables.

If the rear has 4-channel ABS, you'll have to re-plumb the brake hydraulic lines on it, because it will have 2 separate ones where you'll need only one.

Other than that, some brake fluid, some new rear end grease, some silicone for the pan. Maybe a new rubber line or springs or sway bar bushings & end links or whatever else you disturb in the process that you'd like to renew while you're already there.

Re: Please help! 4th Gen Rear

you can order them online or possibly some auto stores will carry them. I know my local pepboys didnt have the part number i wanted but could order it in for me. I still have to get those cables. I've been running without the rear brake cables for a year and a half

I used the stock cables that came with my rear end and used some rope clamps from home depot to shorten the passenger side one, worked great.

Tru-Torque c94597/Bendix c1647. That will work but you'll have to dremel out the ends that slip on the caliper levers, and there will be 1/4-1/2 inch extra cable slack where it attaches to the ebrake handle's equalizer. You can attach clamps to it to take up some of the slack
