Here are some examples ..

Wow, my searching of ebay never found any of those, fantastic.
One thought was to turn the shaft 180 degrees to get the best surface for new bearings, but better to leave those tricks for when kits like these aren't available.
A wrecker offered me a rear end from a rallye 306 are these the same as an xsi? Probably long term information, I think fitting the kits and maybe raising the car one notch on the torsion bars may suffice.
I would like to be carry more weight eventually, I have rhino racks to fit as well.
I noticed the estate break model has discs, that would be nice to have. 
The rear wheel drums/cylinders on my 405 have been an ongoing problem.
Aftermarket cylinders did not have the unloader built in, so I'll have to swap that mechanism from the old
cylinders one day.
Jabbing the brakes noticeably locks the back wheels at the moment, and they are leaking a bit already.
I have an older 1988 405 SRDT sedan that came with discs on the back.
Many years of overloading high mileage 504 and 405 cars and never had the 306 type problem though.
