Jeep- i am not that familier with the ringwood area but its not too far from me. I do a good amount of mtbiking and I heard there are some great trails to ride up that ways.
You MtBike?

tcar - thanks for those points.

reason for the cross drilled is since the jeep has larger tires on it, its probably takin more to stop it at current state ( brakes are wearing down)and increasing the heat while stoping, so i figured for the price of the Crossdrilled, it would be a slight upgrade incomparsion to stocks also, it doesnt see much mud n grime at this part of its life (203K mile DD) with the feed back ive received so far, looks like these will be gettin ordered soon.

as for painting the calipers. only if it makes them work better.. which brings me to this, do they make better performing calipers for ZJs? didnt expland my search as i figured they did not.

big clay, I agree that the fronts do more of the stopping than the rear, ive wasted way more fronts in my driving than rears. I will look into the yellowstuff and compare, its been a month since i read up on the EBC pads. my goal is to reduce stopping distance with out killing the bank.

Big Clay, whats the reason for the yellow up front? Im curious.

Also, for the rear ebrake set up, does this usually come with the rear brakes or is this a kit I need to buy seperately? 1st jeep with disk in rear, Any tips for this? My pops seems to think itll be a PITA to replace the rears but I dont see much difference.

Thanks again for the information.

thanks for the information amigos.

360man- ive read about why this is, it would def be worth it but not sure if itll stay where it is or go up, if i go up more & switch to a real lift i may do this upgrade then since most kits require longer brake lines.

Iroc Z- ive read about the co-efficeint from the ebc website thus my thoughts on the greenstuff pads, what hawk pads do you use? Are jeep wheels supposed to be clean?

Tharlan- thanks for the feedback, do you know what dealer you got them from? Ive seen many dealers selling them and wasnt sure if there was much difference.


Also, with this upgrade to pads n rotors have you guys noticed a significant change in the stopping distance / Braking power? Would you recomend it or just go with stock stuff?
