Ok, Just have to make sure. I'm ordering new discs and pads for all corners tomorrow, I just have to make sure I get the right one for rear. SO Here's a picture of the rear "discs", I'm thinking this is WITH a hub. Am I correct?
Ok, It looks bad. It's been unused for 6 months. But you don't wanna see the shocks It has right now. They look they're ORIGINAL
Well that's why I'm restoring it, right?

As for make, well its only the rears, and they're all fairly similar....

Personally, I'd go for the brembo's, if i was going to put standard ones on.

Yeah, those discs... This is a picture from today - found out the brake shield is completely shattered!
I could've just ripped it off with bare hands
