Good News..Caliper not leaking, but they are locked up. So it was suggested that Brake pads, Brake Rotors, Brake Caliper and Brake Hose be replaced.

Mechanic buddy of mine, will get pars and get it done for $250.00. Much better deal than $622.58

I so agree, a much better price bro. I like doing work myself and I am willing to learn.

Disc Wheels are better, what is the cost to convert from Drum Brakes?

Go to the junkyard and grab the brakes ebrake, caliper brackets and lines from a ZJ disced rear end, whatever that costs you, which varies by junkyard is what the cost will be
