using zj brakes on a xj question

If I was to go this route, can i use the existing calipers, or do I need to replace rotor,calipers and pads

Also would the above parts from a 94 zj work on a 97 xj?

It would be coming from a 94 zj v-8

Thanks

Rich

I assume your jut talking about the back because it's a waste do do GC on fronts.

You'd need all of the brake system from the back, rotor caliper, I believe some of the brake lines and then I would just buy new pads. Pads from the JY are most likely going to be worn out.
