    I've got zuki fronts on my cj, but the piston on the nissan caliper is tiny and I've heard its pretty ****ty with big tires.

    I was thinking about some 8.8 calipers or grandcherokee/tj rear calipers. They both use a rotor with the same thickness. But I'm planning on a t-case parking brake. I've heard some isuzu's use a non vented rotor like that and have a parking brake

    Kit - $280
    SS lines from hard lines to caliper (you need them) - $50/pr
    ouch! loaded calliper set from O'Reilly's - $250/pr, but they're from an '85 Cadillac El Dorado Rear W/Emergency Brake including all brackets and hardware.
