I've just installed that kit. Did the fronts aswell. Really good kit, handbrake is a millon times better and my TJ stops better than before and I'm running 35s now instead of 31s

hows the actual hand brake internal drum on one side (with the disc conversion) hold a TJ on a steep hill.

shouldnt there be 2x drum hand brake pads rather than one.

im not sure i like the idea of only one wheel holding the car using the handbrake.
