I'm not sure I'd look at getting these parts on the web.Your probably better off going to your local NAPA parts store in case your given the wrong parts or something.I've used NAPA parts on about 3 to 4 thousand brake jobs now,and it's hard to beat their quality.Hope this helps. :)

I just upgraded my brakes with NAPA rotors and "Adaptive One" brake pads, both from Napa. Only had to use the brakes once so far in a hairy situation and the combo performed excellently.

Rotors are Napa part # UP 880036, 33.95 each.
Pads are Napa Part # ADOAD7732A

I highly recommend them. Much better than any set of brakes I've had even when the Jeep was brand new.

I really do...........Gris is right,this is the combo that we use at our shop,get their best rotors and "Adaptive One"pads and I promise you'll have better brakes than OE.We have customers come in with less than 20,000 miles,with all kinds of noises and poor stopping,and they trust our judgment over their warranty coverage. Trust me...when you do them for a livin'....the last thing we need is a come-back. :wink: :lol: Make sure you clean and lube all slides and contact points with a high-temp brake lube.And a very light film of lube on the back of each pad and where they contact the piston and outer caliper bracket,will give you good results.

I had the same question a month or so back and followed LilRedLibby's advice. The new NAPA upgraded pads and rotors are great!

Thanks for your trust Todd,cause the best part is that they last a long time under normal braking conditions,and work very well till their gone. God forbid if a small child runs out in front of your vehicle,you'll feel good knowing that you prevented a misshap. :wink:
