New disc brake kit for CJ7
 

Can anyone point me to a site that sells a nice disc brake kit for my
'78 CJ7?

Thanks,
Jordan

Re: New disc brake kit for CJ7
 

If you mean a conversion from drum to disk front brakes, you should have
them, if not pick up the brakets from a stock '77-'78 CJ out of a bone yard.

I've been told that you can easily retrofit post-1976 CJ front drums with
later CJ-series front drums, but I've never tried it. The axles didn't
change, just the brake system.

Here's an article on swapping diskes into much earlier jeeps:

Yeah, bone yard, that's what they call it when you, Romain and Bransford
duel each other with your cocks out.

I do have disk brakes in the front. I was thinking of upgrading them
to something better than stock.

All depends on how much $ you want to part with.

I upgraded the ZJ with Stillen rotors and Performance Friction
carbon-metalic pads. Been real happy, they stop well and wear
like iron. Gotten twice the milage out of them that I got out
of OEM, and they are still going strong.
