'past wagon' ............??

what year make and model of Past Wagon are you thinking of? Are those
german or american cars or what ?

usually people buy a vendor's kit.
fwiw ...the one I put on a number of years ago did not make the van slow
down a lot better..
and I vent *nutty* on that syncro's whole system ...
and the parking brake would not hold on a steep city hill.

if I was going to buy anyone's it would be Van Cafe's.

I sure am not putting rear disc brakes on any of my vans.
my brakes don't even wear much at all and I have never needed more
stopping power than the van can generate ...granted it's on the
not-like-more-modern car's side of the spectrum ..but driven
intelligently, they're fine.
