Complete ZJ rear brakes

Hey everyone. What is a good deal on complete ZJ rear disk brake parts (salvage); caliper mounts, dust sheilds, calipers, rotors, soft lines and e brake hardware?
How does $150 sound? thanks in advance blaise

paid 65.00 $ for mine.

Anyone else?

I got a quote of $100 here in NC.

several sets sold at $200 - depends where you are - most yards won't sell just the brakes - want to sell the whole axle

Paid $40 for the calipers, brackets, shields (no rotors, they cost about $16 a piece), ecables.
$25 for the proportioning valve (I think it was too much), $20 for the ABS sensors, $20 for the ZJ tone rings + $10 to press them on my axles, $11 for ZJ axle studs.
I also decided to get rebuild calipers had to use the salvage calipers as core.
That cost me another $35 total. The parts person quoted my a price of $15.99 on the phone, I rushed to get it thinking it was some short of special to find out it was a mistake. They offered to let me have it at the quoted price, I accepted.
I also bought new pads and eshoes.
On my way of putting things together.

Wow, you seem to be the first person to get ABS to work with this.....can you do more of a writeup on how exactly you did this, where you got all the parts (junkyard vs. store and part #'s?) This is exactly what I want to do, and it seems you found a relatively inexpensive way to do it....

I was thinking about swapping in an 8.25" axle and putting on discs....but I could always put em on my D35 until I upgrade the axle later...

There is another ABS conversion on the web, I used it as a guide, the difference is that I used the whole sensor and harness assy instead of splicing the sensors. Tone rings were swapped on my axles instead of replacing the entire axle.
I think that where I departed from other conversions was the use of clamps on the axles to secure the hoses and extending the ZJ cables using extra cable and cable connectors. Also I opted for shortening the brake lines for a better fit.
I used junkyard parts for everything except fot the tone rings. I got them from a 4X4 specialty shop that happened to have some extra D35 axles with the proper tone rings.
I added a couple of pictures

Got me some rear brackets coming in the mail. Do I really need the dust shields? I also read that longer lug studs are nessesary due to rotor thickness, true or false? Off topic question: I have a Detroit EZ locker, should I replace the springs (5k miles since installed) or any other parts while I have it apart? Thanks in advance blaise

dust shields are needed for e-brake/drum brake
