Brake pad replacement - Sport JLU

[ForeOSU]

At 62k miles on my 2020 JLU and need to buy some pads for front and rear. What are the best options out there? Part #s are appreciated if you have them.

The Z36 truck/tow package is awesome.

Hawk LTS, tirerack.com has the best prices that I've seen on them

I've used both the Powerstop Z36 and Hawk LTS pads. The Hawk LTS is a better brake pad. Don't waste your money on the Z36, which is better than stock but not as good as the LTS.

Guy, I think EBC makes a similar pad to the Hawks, not sure if they have complete front & rear sets though?? And checking on tirerack it looks like there's a few more "better" options such as Akebono & Stop Tech. Can't go wrong w/ Hawks though, haven't bought any pads for the Jeep yet but used to do autocross a few years back and those Hawk pads never let me down. Went to a Wilwood BBK, and even the Wilwood pads were a bit less impressive vs. the Hawks.

I find it a bit odd that quite a few JL options only have front pads, rears don't do too much, but nice to have matching sets lol.

Agree about the Powerstops, a step in the right direction but not in the same league as brake pad specialists that deal w/ high end racing applications.
Here's the current tirerack pad list for JLs

I think the EBC Greenstuff pads are available front and rear, but their Yellowstuff is only available in front. I have used the EBC Green and Yellow on my TJ Rubicon and was impressed with both of them. I would've went with EBC over the Hawk's (mainly due to never using Hawk before) but they weren't in stock when I needed them.

I agree on matching front and rears. Rears generally will last twice as long as front pads, but I prefer to replace both at the same time, especially when changing to a different brand and/or type.

I have a ’22 JLR. The stock lasted 40K miles. I am happy with what came on the JLR but am open to suggestions for aftermarket. What is the recommendation for front brake pads and rotors?
