Looking at getting some powerstop brakes, model K2832. These are 302mm rotors, with I believe are stock. I'm seeing I can also do a 332mm rotor but that's only for the HD braking. Did the liberties come stock with an HD braking kit? Can I get a different caliper mount to bring my caliper out further to accept the 332mm if I got those instead? I have 17in wheels so I should have clearance for larger brakes.

Any info you guys have would be appreciated. Thanks

I'd like to go larger because of the added weight of tires and gear.

If any off roading at all then grooves and holes, plus unless you are 175-200 MPH don't really need them anyways

Never thought of that. I put them on my wife’s car because of the way she drives. She causes the brakes to overheat and they start squeaking. No more squeaks since I put them on her car. Funny that I have never had that problem on my cars.

I was thinking of putting them on mine but after your words I’ll stick with stock.

Yep, that does account for something ya know. :wink:

I'm a fan of the titanium rotors and ceramic pads. I've seem to get great service, no fading. Current set was put on around 60k. Jeep has 115k and last oil change, they said they were still at 80%. But I like that they don't warp, at least no under my driving. Got a set on my 2011 Town&Country. which was really bad for that. No warp and one set has out lasted 3 sets of OEM installed by Crackler. (Chrysler). :ALONE:
