  • One foot braking , even in panic situations.

Performance:
Test Vehicle: 2002 TJ , 4.0L manual, 6” long arm, 35” MT/R tires, Off-road bumpers front and rear, winch, highlift jack.
  • Stock brakes: 60 – 0 stopping distance average 175ft Max decel rate 0.74g. Could not lock the brakes
  • 16” Kit: 60 – 0 stopping distance avg 151 ft max g decel rate .85g. Skid limited (able to lock brakes during the stop).
  • 17” Kit: 60 – 0 stopping distance, less than 150 feet, max decal rate 0.91G (With 37” MT/R beadlocks). Skid limited (able to lock brakes at any time).

Rotor Comparison:
  • Stock TJ - 280 x 24 6.0mm thick plates (11.0 inch dia., 0.94 inch thick) wt = 13 lbs
  • 16” Kit - 305 x 26 7.5mm thick plates (12.0 inch dia., 1.02inch thick) wt = 17.5lbs
  • 17” Kit - 336 x 28 8.5mm thick plates (13.2 inch dia., 1.1 inch thick) wt = 22 lbs

Caliper Comparison:
  • Stock TJ – 1 piston 66mm diameter
  • 16” Kit – 2 piston 48mm
  • 17” kit – 2 piston 54mm

16” Kit does not need a new master cylinder because the volume of the new calipers is close enough to the volume of the stock calipers. 17” kit requires the master cylinder because those calipers are much larger.

16” Kit recommended for 35” and SMALLER tires
17” kit recommended for 37” tires MINIMUM.,
