Thank you.

I was really happy with the stock cables & a clamp holding it on. Worked great. I got fancy & wanted to use the "right" cables & now I'm out of a E-brake 'cause I'm too lazy to get/search for one.

No. I'm still running drums until they wear out, but I found those while I was researching and planning my disc swap. I think someone actually posted the link to them in this thread.

Got my kit put on this weekend and WOW what a difference. I decided against putting the proportioning valve in but I may sooner or later. All together though its one of my favorite upgrades.

Congrats! I feel the same way... one of the best upgrades I've ever done to a Jeep. I also have yet to swap out the guts of my '01's Master Cylinder but may do that down the road. My brakes feel very nice and balanced now so I haven't done that swap yet.

You don't have Change out the whole valve, just go to the JY and take out the guts from a ZJ's valve and swap it in. 15 Mins. to do at the most!

So far I'm very pleased with the upgrade. The only reason I could see swapping it out is if I'm towing a lot...which I only do once or twice a year. I'll do putting all new brakes and rotors up front too so I'll see how it goes after thats done
