There is no link there. Dont waste your money on Brembo or any other fancy race crap. You are driving a jeep. Stock has always worked fine on everything I have done.

I have performance rotors and Hawk pads from Quadratec. No problem stopping my Jeep on 31s pulling whatever im pulling. (2 sleds, boat etc.) And my rear brakes quit working for some reason awhile ago.

X 2 in buying OEM brakes. Your Jeep stock brakes will handle up to a 35 inch tire just fine. Hopefully if you're thinking of running a tire any bigger than that, you have bigger axles in mind. Then just go with the OEM brakes for that axle.

The only upgrade I would consider buying from the aftermarket would be to convert the rear brakes over to discs if you have rear drums.
