Could somebody please show me where I asked for an opinion on, or comparison between, rear disks and drums?
There is no way the zj swap will come out under $100.
I end up with used calipers I have to rebuild, used rotors I have to have turned (or replace) and then I have to spring for brake pads.

Bud, it's going to cost me close to that again for the pads, turning the rotors (if they can be turned) and rebuilding the wheel cylinders, not counting the original cost of the parts.
For $100 I was out from under there for at least 2 years with 10" backer plates.
These kids may be good at posing on rocks, but ain't a one of them can do basic math.
It's hard to believe Chrysler would design, set up, and run off a 10" disk design just to fill such a small market. You'd figure they'd have used something off the shelf.
Thanks again for the answer.
