Search around, im pretty sure i've seen a diy on this and seen a good number of people that have done it. I'm pretty sure you'll need the lines from the e-brake to the back discs.

stickied at the top of this sub-forum, even...

if you get everything, its a really straight-forward swap.. everything bolts up like it was stock.. took me about 4 hours total (including bleeding) to do both sides. the only thing i had someone help me with was bleeding the brakes.
