They are the zj setup. Sourced it from big David on here. Not sure about the dimensions, but I'm headed down to the garage in a bit and I'll get some pics of the size.
Thanks, 11.2", that helps.
I found some 13.2" vented front and 11.8" vented rears I want to try and adapt to 'RaceXJ' but the fronts need 17"+ wheels to clear. Lucky us.
I also have a set from BigDavid in a box waiting for springtime for the other jeep.
I don't remember what the front rotors diameter is?

I believe the stock fronts are in the same 11.2 range actually. They just have a lot more pad contact than the rears. I'm going to a 12.x in the front so I can keep my 15" drag wheels. If it wasn't for me replacing and upgrading everything, I would just leave the stock fronts. Seeing how I don't like doing 130+ on 100k mile jeep front end components I might as well upgrade everything while is getting replaced. The aftermarket is so cheap, the is normallylittle to no price difference between upgrading or replacing.

Pretty much got this done, I've just been working on it for like 15-20 mins a night. No big hurry. One of my stock lines busted on me, so I'm redoing that, which is no biggie, plus I'm still thinking about my diff cover options, I really wasn't happy with how rusty that one was. Can't decide between modding another one, or going aftermarket

well the driver side line broke first. then i went to bleed the brakes so i could go on a test drive after i swapped the prop valve, and the passenger started leaking, so i called it an early night.

Well I've worked out the details for my brake lines,shocks, and rear suspension.
Just waiting on shipping.
I know what I'm doing up front for suspension, just got to buy the coils.
Still need to get 100% set on front steering and brakes. Pretty sure which direction I'm heading, but nothing is set til I place an order.

im planning 12" sport trac rotors with cobra R calipers. that way I can still fit inside my 15" 'skinnies' honestly the brakes I have now are substantial for how light my jeep is, but since the cost between upgrade and replacement is the same, I might as well upgrade. I dont want to go any larger than that due to weight, and wheel selection. I can already lock the wheels up, and brake fade hasnt been an issue. Honestly Im not terribly hard on my brakes, actually barely use them. I normally just down shift.
