The front brakes wont fit inside 15" rims and the stud pattern is different

Lol, just noticed that. A W-reg is a WJ, not a ZJ.

The rear discs off a 98 grand 4ltr (zj?) will fit the xj. Done the same to my xj, but you will lose the abs and have to modify the brake pipes and handbrake cables to fit. I just got the whole axle from a breakers so had all the bits.
Don't know about fronts though.

ZJ front brakes are exactly the same as XJ.

Ah ha never was much good with the letters once I left the trade!!

Cause ZJ is upto 98 isn't it? W reg is 2001 or something.
