Default Brake upgrade

Its time to change brakes and I am looking for some new calipers with a little more stopping power. I have searched a couple I know of(SSBC, BAER), no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well, for bolt on upgrades....look to EBC for rotors and pads. The next step is a rear disc swap with parts from an grand Cherokee. The next step would be Vanco, but that's a knuckle swap. Then the next would be a WJ knuckle swap, but you pretty much get the same as the Vanco swap. You also gain a better steering with the WJ swap.

So no luck on calipers unless I do a swap

On my camaro I ran stainless steel brake lines for a better pedal feel... Same rules should apply to the jeep..

I spent days researching on rotors and pads....ended up with Powerslot and Hawks pads......overrated if you ask me.

I'll go with Napa's premium in future and save a few $.

upgradeing to dual diaghpram booster is going to give you much better stopping powerhttp://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...des/index.html
