Please be aware that due to the way a ball race is built there is a degree of axial movement present even from new and this movement will progressively worsen with use. This means that the piston/pistons in the caliper will be pushed back as the car corners and when you brake the first part of pedal movement will just push the pistons back without actually causing any braking effort. Some years ago a friend with an SJ did this conversion and reckoned his pedal went half way to the floor before he had any retardation. Very disconcerting.
