Replacing Brakes and Roters
 

Jeep TJ 97 2.5L

I have to replace my brakes. So, I started to look around, I saw
advertisements for Hawks HPS brake Pads, Power slot brakes pads and the
list goes on.

I don't have that much experience in what's a good rotor or what's
current in the latest brake pads. Anyone want to share their
experiences? What to buy, etc=3F


Thanks

Hi Denis,
Unless you're into slalom, road type racing where you need the
caliper's complete release of pads via using four or six pistons, and
vented rotors, like an old Sixties Shelby Mustang, then give you local
parts store a try, they usually carry a name brand with life time
guarantee, along with there own Chinese junk. Look at the different
quality performance levels Raybestos carries:

embarrass you.

Re: Replacing Brakes and Roters
 

I would recommend ceramic pads for a TJ. I have used the Bosch ceramic pads
with good results. Part number: RBC477. I used Bosch because that was the
brand available in stock at my local auto parts store. Lifetime guarantee.
If they start squeaking (mine never did) or wear out, just return them with
the original receipt.

I would prefer pads made in the USA, and I think the Raybestos pads are, but
I am not sure. On the Raybestos link below are the Raybestos Quiet Stop,
ceramic pads which would also be an excellent choice.

Ceramic pads generally are quieter, with less chance of squeaking, less
brake dust, and put less wear on the rotors.
