price is tempting one of my friends bought those and was happy with them ...

Usually the thing to look for when buying rotors is to make sure they are slotted rather than drilled ... drilled rotors tend to have micro fractures and cracks from daily driving and you won't have that problem with the slotted ones ...

drilled ones are made intentionally for racing but for that price phuck it go for it ...

as far as pads go ... from the owners here and other users thermoquiets seems to be the best because they don't squeal over time, and other brands will do that especially hawk pads

you really don't have to go that method for instance on mine

I went with that same setup and my pads are hawk pads when they start squealing i will switch to thermoquiet

i was looking around online and didnt find much on the pads, (except for the fact they are made by the same company as the rotors), but the rotors seem to be popular. every one writes nice reviews, and this eBay company seems to sponsor a lot of forums.


as far as the cracks on the drilled rotors, do are jeeps produce enough pressure to even cause it? when i was beefing up my dads vette i put Bear drilled and slotted rotors on his corvette and they have been on for roughly 40K now, no cracking issues. The race cars we put them in would show the cracks after some races but they ran a MUCH stronger pressure through the whole system.

wow lots of questions Chris LOL j/k

I don't have the same type, i bought mine from Troy and they are amazing !!! They stop real quick and love the noise they make when stopping, install was easy real easy ... took me about an hour to do all four, i have had them on for 2 months now and no rusting at all and still going good and squeaking either ... of course i cleaned all my rotors and pads with break cleaner whenever i was the car ...

I will get some pix of it tonight .... it's a real nice mod to do plus it changes the look of the car tremendously, some people have complemented on them saying that a jeep with those must be face LMAO
