E-brake cable. An if using bugeye hubs... Figuring out which actual parts you are dealing with. Those are the only parts to take heed. The rest is all set. You can look at mine on the wagon.

From the Compiled Brake Information (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1265631):
"To swap out drums, at the least you will need new parking brakes, backing plates, discs, calipers, and brake lines. It is usually best to get a whole knuckle/hub/parking brake assembly out of a car with rear discs. If you want to put rear discs on your front wheel drive Subaru, you might have to parts from a 90-94 Legacy, since they might be the only FWD Subarus with rear discs and the FWD rear hubs/spindles/struts/etc are different."
