The brackets are installed as flat with the right shims(included). The rotors are 79 Firebird rears, the calipers are 85 eldorado types. Hoses I think are even 79 firebird. pretty easy install, just a couple things you have to keep in mind for being able to service them. Keep enough slack in the E brake cables to pull the calipers back to remove them and have the hoses mounted to be able to do the same. And like on the front conversion , you have to make sure the axle flange is filed or ground back to get the rotors to lay flat.
