If you had to replace your brakes/rotors/brake lines and completely re-fill the system with fluid- what would you go with?

Drilled and slotted rotors? Standard Centric rotors? EBC rotors? Powerstop one-click Z23 kit?

EBC yellow or green pads?

SS brake lines?

Any fancy aftermarket brake fluid from Royal Purple?

Quite a few options...but which would be worth it to 'upgrade' to over stock pads, rotors, lines, and fluid?

I would do SS lines and the last time I did brakes I used the Powerstop kit(standard rotors and ceramic pads)
I would stick with factory recommended fluid though.

Drilled /slotted are for show only,actually reduce braking performance(drilled).

Braided flex lines are a good upgrade and actually useful.

Stick with DOT 3/4 brake fluid only,if you need a higher boiling point a Jeep is not the vehicle for you(or any public road for that matter).
