Default Brake Upgrade

Well, I've been needing to replace my pads and rotors for a while now, so I bought and just recieved my Summit Slotted and Dimpled Rotors, Greenstuff Brake Pads, and a Shock Boot (Blue) for my Fabtech Steering Stabilizer. Will try and get them installed this weekend depending on whether I work or not. I plan on also redoing my drums too. Any advice. mods, tips, or ideas to improve or make my drums an easier install? Also, I've read all over about the Cylinder Upgrade, which I want to do, but I cannot find a definate answer for which one to get? Supposedly somebody on here had a problem with the upgrade, and I think the problem only occurred with the last of the 2nd Gens (2000-2001). I know that the hose or whatever has to be bent or adjusted to make the fit, but does anybody know EXACTLY what cylinder to get for my 2001?

They used bigger cylinder's in our years. Only think you can do for the rear is the disc breaks.
