Couldn't be any worse than when I had my slammed imports.

With so many different front big brake combinations to use, here is the final version-
2013 Jeep GC SRT8 6 piston calipers and Shelby GT500 14" rotors (5x4.5") using early XJ Knuckles and late XJ Hubs.

Yes, but it'll never get brake fade and pads will last FOREVER. Lmao.

Plus they'll be useful if I can ever get racejeep into a track day like I want to.

Welp... Racejeep is more-or-less parked for the winter. Already started the build on the new engine (head is currently being built). I think we have just about all the parts we need for the short block build. Just gotta collect it all and give it to the machine shop when they're done building the head.

Time for some eye candy. 505 Performance forged 0.060" over pistons with custom pin height and SCAT forged rods. Going to be using pressed wrist pins because that's what the rods are set up for.
