Do you have a drum or rear disc car? If you have a drum, get the front knuckle with caliper and rotor. The hub and axle are the same, as well as all the arms. If you have a rear drum car, get the knuckle with the caliper, rotor, parking brake cables, and the leading trailing link. The drum cars' parking beake cable mounts to the arm in a different spot.

If you have a rear disc car, just the knuckle with the rotor and caliper, though I think the rear caliper is the same.

The V6 caliper is going to be bigger, and the V6 rotor is larger with the 5 lugs in it. Supposedly the rear is the same, with the 5 lug rotor.

I recently did all the research, but decided to stick with just doing a rear disc conversion, staying with 4 lug, since I didn't want to invest in all new wheels. I ended up getting a set of V6 calipers though!!!

Thanks for all of that info Lashlee! I currently have rear drums, but that should all change soon. :)

No problem!!! Hit me up if you run into any problems!! Mine went off without a hitch, though I will say that I found a whole rear subframe to pull parts from!! I also had the luxury of being able to leave my car sitting for a few days since I have a truck to drive also.
