Best Brake Pads?

[rjpjeep]

OK, what is the BEST brake pads out there for our JL's? I do a lot of off roading here in the mountains of TN and a lot of road trips. TY.

I've used and can recommend the EBC brand (in particular, semi-sintered.) Fellow owners should be able to provide additional data and context for your stated use case.

While my JLU isn't in need of brakes just yet. When that time does come, I will grab a set of Duralast ceramic pads. Couple of years back, installed them on my Ram (does venture off the beaten path). I'll never use another pad on the market. Long lasting, no noise, and they stop, very well. Not saying you should jump right on them. But at least worth the look.

A few people have told me Hawk.

So I'm waiting for my pads to go, at 72k miles and still some left. No idea why stock pads last so long.

I just went through this and threw my hands in the air and ordered some Powerstops. Why? After researching pads extensively and deciding…I couldn’t find very many places at all that would list my BR6 brake code, much less front AND back. Stock is easy but pricey.

Good brake pads are nice, but if you even want more performance out of your brakes, get rotors that have holes, or slots drilled/machined into them. The braking surface will be reluctant to heat build-up and you will lower your chance of brake fade. A most crucial element when off-roading. The holes also evacuate water, and that helps in emergency braking situations.

I had my 2020 4 door Sahara in for an oil change and tire rotation the other day. The tech measured my pads and told me I have 4 on front and 6 on the rears. I have 106,000 mile on my Jeep. Mind you 90% of that is highway but still sure would like to be able to buy these same pads when the time comes.

I installed Hawk Performance Talon drilled/slotted rotors with their LTS brake pads on my 2018 JLUR at 95K miles, these were the third sets of brakes installed, fantastic stopping power, never felt braking this good in any of the Jeeps I have own.

Do you have a part number or a link for those rotors ? I have a set of pads ready to go, but those rotors are tricky to find.

Sorry, I bought them as sets, rotors and pads together.

Similar use here. We’re at 97k and I wonder what they look like. I’ll look when I rotate.
