Need new rotors. Are those ebay rotors a good investment? Would they help with stopping in the mud?

It's a preference thing. Personally I'd leave the dimpled and slotted rotors for the track and performance vehicles. The irregular surface allows more places for mud to hang out and damage the pads and then the rotors.

cuts down braking surface as well...

So slotted rotors arent good for off road applications? Them buggys and rock crawlers dont use them?

For the $ don't worry about it. Depending on what year XJ you have check out the brake booster and master cylinder upgrade. Much better improvement for the $

they use them, its just completely different than what you think they would look like. they are not your average rice burner slotted rotors

What would changing the master cylinder and booster do?

Jeepjunky

grab the brakes with more force, so you stop faster

He already has a good m/s. He has a 2000.

This works well and should be easy to do on your 2000 as long as you've got the Chryslet 8.25 rearend.
