Hello fello Jeep People. I have my 04 Jeep with 113k miles. The brakes need replacing. They are pretty bad. Plenty of pad left but vibrates when the pads get warm. The pad actually has skip marks on the rotors. The previous owner must have put discount pads on it. It is my daily driver and will probably be handed down to my daughter. I always like to improve the items I replace. So far I have E3's, K&N & Vmax. I was wondering if any of you Jeepers would have any recomondation on brakes. EBC or others. I used some dimpled rotors on my durango that I bought from Jegs with raybesto pads. Worked good but I am open for suggestions. Have a good day, Eh!
Thanks in advance.

Lee

1st put copper core plugs back in,throw the K&N in the trash,and a good set of Napa /Centric premium rotors with matching pads(Napa Adpative Ones are great) will be more then enough.

Don't forget bedding in the pads correctly is key to good brakes.

Explain?

I think I know what you're talking about for the outcome, Troy, but the process is what is unclear for this home garage/shade tree mechanic.

I'll buy you a beer if you gimme a little schoolin' :happy160:

Bedding in pads is heat cycling the pads for max friction.

One of the best I've seen.

I have the napa adaptive one pads and napa rotors at all 4 corners. Braking is about the same as stock. Don't expect any major gains or anything.

As tjkj said, bed them in correctly.
