::Brake system replacement/upgrade Q::
today I was planning on flushing and bleeding the brakes in my 99 xj. Stripped all of the bleeder valves of course. I was able to get the rear drums flushed and blead. however both of my front bleeder valves are stripped and stuck.
I COULD get the torch out and work them out. BUT I would rather use this as an excuse to upgrade.
I was just going to get new Calipers but figured I would ask the cherokeeforum.com community about options for a brake system upgrade.
I don't want to swap to WJ knuckles. And I want to keep 15 wheels.
what can I do as far as Calipers, pads, rotars, master cylinder for upgrades to my 99 xj that will help stop my jeep quick??
thanks!!!

Unless you plan on going to a larger tire size I'd redo the front brakes and do a disc conversion in the rear. I went with Centric Premium stuff front and rear.

Cheapest is replace the front with oem stuff but better pads and rotors and do a rear disc swap.If you want bigger brakes http://www.tandrperformance.com/trbigbrkitfo.html
