Default Dana S60, what do I need?

I'm in the process of getting a Strange Dana S60 and I'm wondering what all I will need to make this install go smoothly.

I'm looking at their complete S60 package, 35-spline axles, 1350 yoke, trutrac, 3.73, etc Also I'm ordering a 3" chromoly drive shaft as well.

Will I be able to keep my factory rear brakes? - I have GMPP drilled and slotted rotors if that matters.

Is the bolt pattern the same as the factory?

Will I need to modify my Hotchkis panhard bar/rear control arms to make them fit?

I'm also thinking of adding a BMR adjustable torque arm, will this need any modifications to fit?

Thanks

Is the bolt pattern the same as the factory? Yes

Will I need to modify my Hotchkis panhard bar/rear control arms to make them fit? No, it bolts in just like the factory 10 bolt.

I'm also thinking of adding a BMR adjustable torque arm, will this need any modifications to fit? Yes, I think BMR has a template to show what need modifying. I have UMI, and had to modify the tunnel some.

Thanks


This should help..
