Post by: Fizz on April 27, 2013, 05:23:43 PM

Anyone upgrades their brakes on their wj. Want a better pedal feel and stopping power. Also anyone do hose upgrades?

Is there an option for someone who isn't royalty or a lottery winner :017:

Brake hoses speak with Dave at Llama http://www.llama4x4.co.uk/ (http://www.llama4x4.co.uk/) but be prepared for a large phone bill  :icon_winkle:

There are some Brembo calipers from a Mustang or something that are a direct bolt on. Have a search on Jeepforum in the street / grand cherokee sections. They aren't cheap though, I did look into it and seem to remember that some v6 Alfas use the same calipers can source from the uk. It's not going to improve pedal feel though, that's normallly more master cylinder / booster related.

First thing to upgrade are the hoses, get braded ones and you'll notice an improvement
