4th gen rear in a 3rd gen

I just purchased an '01 WS6 rear end, with 3.42s and posi and discs. The rear also came with a new girdle, LCAs (Stock bleh), shocks, and sway bar. The e-brake cable seems snapped.

Question 1. Will the 12 inch rotors fit under my stock iroc 16 inch rims?

Question 2. How much are new e-brake cables? How much are new brake lines altogether (just incase)?

Question 3: What, if any, difficulties should I run into swapping this? How long should it take?


Oh, and, don't ever try to take home a rear end like that in your iroc. Its heavy as ****, hard to get in there, then hard to take out. I'm 17 and i think that alone aged me 10 years.

Is the sway bar on this thing 24mm? I don't have a metric ruler but it seemed to be about an inch thick or so.

not sure about much other than that you will need a new proportioning valve if you're going from drums to disks out back
