    There is a few mistakes with that link like it says a 32mm socket or the hub nut but on my s14 it was a 36mm a few other things but I can't remember

    I'm pretty sure the S15 is 32mm
    Although I do remember having to go buy a 36mm for something

    They attach to under the body of your car (above the prop) and then go straight into the handbrake balance bar which is found just behind the handbrake under the car

    Also you'll need to secure the handbrake cables to the subframe, usually you can use the original bracket on the handbrake cable to do this

    I've put 300zx rears on mine.. the r33 cables clip into the front fine but the brackets on them are nowhere near. So I removed my old cables from the brakets still attached to subframe then cable tidied the new ones to the brackets. Also... Make sure the the shafts fit as I put the 300 rear bearings on built it all back up went to do other side then realised shafts too small.. Lol. Wasn't happy.

    was the shaft problem caused by using the 300 hubs?
