First you'll want to check your factory controller to make sure it can operate with electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) brakes; not all controllers can. If you need a new one I recommend the Tekonsha P3 # 90195.

For an actuator, brake line and breakaway kit all together use part # CAR-HBA16-2. You'll need a second line kit # 9579-01.

I included a link to our page for 8K-rated disc brakes. All use a 8-on-6-1/2 bolt pattern and fit wheels 16-inches and up. You have options in the choice of finish - raw, e-coat, Dacromet and stainless steel, which affects pricing, of course. I also included a link to a helpful article that covers this conversion process.
