Pad and rotor kits

[1ATony]

4 years on a grand cherokee is actually pretty impressive given their caliper issues and rotor warping. Back in the day I had to swap to akebono calipers to prevent warping.

Yeah, I've had a warping issue on that truck years ago (have had the truck for 10 years). We've been carrying the brand that we have for a while now so made the switch once my own vehicle was due, and have had good luck with these.

What country of origin are your rotors from, grade of steel/cast.? I was looking at some Raybestos rotors come to find out they are made overseas. Their are some high quality overseas companies and the other side of the token some really horrible ones.

I believe Taiwan. We use a company called Nakamoto for the majority of our rotors and pads

have good luck with the factory a/c delco's, dedicate some funds to stainless lines, they will give you some good stopping power:thumb:

I just bought the Russel line kit on an impulse buy. Hopefully i don't have to stand on the brake so hard to build 12 psi now.

I have a set of Russell lines on my truck, I am happy with them. The part I don't like is the fronts don't come with mounting brackets like the stock ones, if I was gonna do it again I would get the kryptonite lines...they have all the mounting brackets.

...or these brake lines, more than likely the same stuff. When you do the pads and rotors have the ABS module cycled with a TECH-II or equivalent it makes all the difference in pedal feel....

How bad was it to mount up? I love Kryptonite stuff, but i got the Russell lines on sale for almost half of the Kryptonite price

The Russell lines come with little clips to hold the brake line, but you loose the bracket that holds the wheel bearings sensor cable. I just zip tied he ones on my truck. And the brake lines can slide thu the clips a little, once in awhile I find one of them rubbing the tire at full lock. Some guys use the mounting brackets off the old lines on the new ones....but I'm not sure how they do it, never seen pics. If I wreck one of these lines I'm getting Kryptonite lines.

Or cycle it like a man and put your foot to the wood and try and lock em up.

Gravel roads are great for this!

I used to dumb things like that when I was kid and the results on several occasions were disastrous and have the scars, and we had dirt roads and no ABS back then...:rofl:

Dude it only takes going 30mph and slamming on the brakes to get the abs to cycle.

I put mine on today. The clips that came with the Russell kit seemed to hold my lines fine for now, I will keep an eye on them. I cut the hose off the old brackets so i could re-use the factory mount for the speed sensor. I like Kryptonite stuff, I have their tie rods and center link, but i got the Russell kit for $92 shipped and i think it worked great.

I got Kryptonite centerlink, tie rods, lower ball joints, and sway bar end links.... definitely quality products and I'm very happy with them.

do the powerstops need new calipers or can i use the stock units?

 

[NRA223]

Stock calipers are fine.

There are certainly several different rotors and pads to match in this reply here, but judging on your start-and-stop-heavy needs it sounds like the best longterm option is a collection of Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) Compound Pads. They're specially formulated for added braking power and additional-long life on street vehicles.

I run top line Napa rotors and pads.. I get 70-90k out of pads (no Turbo brake, as I have no vvt=less pad life)

Ssbc make 14" front and rear rotors for SRW trucks.
Wildwood makes 16" rotors f/r are truck.

Having large rotors up front is great for DD... Recipe for a jack knife towing heavy
