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!!!

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
