those axles will stick out and make your wheels rub the fender. just buy some brackets off northracecars.com and pull the caliper and rotors off any rear disc t bird or turbo coupe. they'll bolt up just fine. i've done it a few times, you just have to grind a little off the axle housing. you'll see where when you align the brackets.
