    Brake Upgrades

    Perhaps I should clarify and say contact area. Hey, I'm not the engineer ;) And we can agree to disagree. My view is anecdotal to others but based on my experience. I would be interested in reading anything that can prove a slotted, drilled rotor is superior to a solid rotor for typical...

    Brake Upgrades

    I agree that surface irregularities can increase surface area, but a slot isn't an irregularity, it's removal of mass and material. I try to avoid don't mud now, but I have had crap wedged in calipers behind them dust shield lots of different crannies around the rotor. It seem to be worse when...

    Slotted rotors are great for a race car where you're developing high heat and you need to exhaust the gases. I haven't really had that need on a Jeep, and my experience has been to have mud and gunk get in the slots and chew things up more than normal. I would rather have the increased surface...

    Yep, even though I have do not track in my settings it is geolocating me for the website. I used my VPN to connect to different sites around the country, and I got different inventory availability and pricing.

    My first real jeep

    Welcome, don't be shy about asking questions. As JK's go, the 3.6 has enough oomph (it IS a Jeep). Check around for Jeep clubs in your area or search the UFWDA website to hook up with local folks. ;)

    No, the JT has bigger rear brakes when compared to the JL rear brakes. The fronts are dual caliper with larger rotors, something like 13.6" vs the rear JT at 12.9". Don't quote me on that, not sure what the JL rear is, tho.

    Brake Upgrades

    Here is a rundown someone put together on FB. Prices are probably outdated and some parts may be superceded, but it gives you an idea. What I like about this route is all OEM. I have the J8 booster but haven't installed it yet. The booster on the 3.6 has a slightly larger bore than the one for...

    What year is your jk? I have the crown kit for the front with the j8 booster and Teraflex Rears. I wouldn't go with the Teraflex again. What I'm thinking of doing is going with the JT Gladiator Brakes in the rear. There's a bunch of write-ups on the interwebs about it. I would also caution...
