I did the ZJ/WJ booster/MC upgrade and pretty happy with it. Aftermarket pads can help too.
Didn't read all the posts so somebody might have said this about the bias: If you do a ZJ/WJ booster/MC upgrade there is something inside the valve that can be removed to change the bias. I wouldn't exactly call it adjusting. Sorry I don't have the details but google can help.

I didn't say high temp or high humidity. Basically if you don't live on the moon the autoadjusters suck ***. You can try it (you have, haven't you?) but don't expect it to WORK.

If the drum brakes have been serviced make sure everything was re-installed correctly with no "spare parts" left over. Self adjusters usually work OK until things start seizing up.
