Black magic brakes has a rear disc brake kit, all new parts much cheaper than G2 or teraflex. There's also a member on here that pieces some parts together and has a fairly complete kit.

Removed and cleaned the throttle body today in hopes of finding this high idle with no luck. Also went through the sensors while it was off. After putting everything back together it still idles right at 1000. Haven't found any vacuum leaks either.

Did a lot on the XJ last two days. Yesterday i greased the rear yoke to get rid of the stop and go clunk, replaced rear shocks. Today i did the ZJ steering parts from Moog upgrade and replaced steering dampener. I also fixed my overcharged AC. Tomorrow i will do front struts. I gotta say, replacing steering and new dampener really tightened up my steering. I just need to now take it to get aligned.

have you tried spraying the vacuum lines with carb spray while it's running? If you hit a leak, the engine will rev up.

Don't know, you'll have to call them. They are all interconnected. I think.Pretty sure they can point you in the right direction.
