Napa premium rotors and Adaptive one pads and never look back.The best your going to get for the KJ. Skip crossdrilled rotors,a total waste of money. |

That's the route I went (per advice from my fellow LOST buddies), and it really is the best way. Its nice knowing your truck will stop comfortably everytime.

The Adaptive One parts are half ceramic and half semi-metalic,as in one pad is ceramic and one is semi-metalic.Best of both worlds and worth the cost.Wish I could still use them as I loved them before the SFA.They have a "inboard" and "outboard" pad. |

I just got a set of those Adaptive One pads in with some other things I bought the other day. Even though mine are new fairly new I may have to throw them on and try them. Have 2 sets of Mopar ones here plus a set in with the new Mopar front rotors so what the heck

I went with average pads and rotors this time (money) and the jeep stops very well. Granted I wish I had the premium though. |

Even if the mine is new, fairly new, maybe I put them and try them. There are two sets of Mopar Mopar front disc brakes with a new set, so that you in the end... |
