what year is your car, i am confused, your car should have disc brakes i would think, and if the brakes are already one the rear you could just put your calipers and pads and bolt it and go. If you want to switch everything over your backing plates have to be pressed out, and new ones pressed on. I am not sure what seals if you do needs seals and what not.Anyways i am running a UMI tunnel mounted torque arm, and it fit like a glove, a little tap with a mallet and it went on. I am have a BMR adjustable panhard bar as well, but i don't know if it is necessary i haven't checked to see if the rearend needs to be centered up yet either. Car is still hibernating.

I'm taking a guess here in that you have never taken your rear disk brake rotors off. Are you sure that's not the emergency brake (the drum brake) you're looking at? If it is, your disk rotor will fit right over the top of it.
