I've used EA(?) rears on mine. Haven't sorted handbrake yet but it's a huge improvement.

Considering the front breaks do like 90% of the breaking .. I've never bothered thinking about the upgrade.

well the reason why i was think n i need a upgrade is i tow a little bit and when i was cum n down a massive hill backwards it didn't like stop n it slowed down a million times better but putting it into low 4
but the only reason it help was cause i got 4:88 with 31'
( but to be honest iam a bit off a hoon as well kinda need stop a little quicker )

GoJeeps write ups are pretty comprehensive for both D35 and D44

Scroll down to the brakes section

I used the Go Jeep detail as the basis of my install, but I made the caliper mount and spacer one piece. Needed to have the axles out anyway, so it just made sense.

Will sort the handbrake out soon....... ;)
