what bolt pattern are the 9" ends? and it looks like it has actually has been lengthened or is that an illusion?
 
are those the small bearing ends?? reason i ask i think i have the same ones on my 8.8 and i want to order rear brakes
 
went out and measured my stock housing and housing flange to housing flange is 54" so I would say that this rear is narrowed a 1/4" on each side which really isn't narrowed. axle flange to axle flange is 56" figured I would throw that in there for anyone looking at this. If you measure the housing end bolt pattern you can figure out what brakes and bearing it would use too. big bearing 3.5x2.375 late big bearing 3.557x2.00 small bearing 3.375x2.00 8.8 brake pattern on 9" ends (uses big bearing axles) 3.400 across the top 3.069 across the bottom and 1.680 top to bottom

The bearings are small bearings I believe the bolt pattern will fit stock brakes. I was told they were moser ends???? I will measure the bolt pattern and post it up tomorrow.

Thanks Cary
 
they are small bearing 9" ends and look like a stock 8.8 bolt pattern if so the best kit to use as i have done this and you cant get aerospace, willwood or strange kits for these ends as of this past season so what i found to work the best is a willwood kit for small bearing 9" ends and then you have to slot the holes in the caliper bracket and put a 1/8" spacer between the rotor hat and the axle it all worked out fine for me i the rear end was done and powder coated and it the car before i got my brakes so i made it all work its not that bad to if you need help let me know
