There's actually almost zero difference in prop valves from 1990-2006 jeep 2 or 4 wheel disc valves.

Removing the spring puts more pressure to the rears instead of proportioning it down. Many guys add 4 wheel disc, don't get great results, remove the spring and now have better brakes. Same would have happened if they just removed the spring and left the drums on. For you guys removing the...

Actually, yes we do sell hydroboost but this is what he means. http://www.vancopbs.com/product_p/dkj1000.htm

Mine takes 2 hours to install....But to be honest, the WJ was the inspiration to make the kit. We wanted brakes like a WJ without the massive amount of labor and fab work.

I don't use any slotted or dimpled rotors (Data I have, many many tests shows they're a sidegrade or no upgrade), so I have not tried EBC rotors. Centric premium 120 series for a perfect flat rotor makes me smile. EBC yellow pads rocks the socks off of Hawk. EBC greens not so much, they fade...

Should be able to, yes.

It's 1000% better then removing it.

Correct. Of course removing the rear spring may allow the rear brakes to lock up first, if this happens at speed the vehicle will slide ass end out. I wish that guy sent me the pictures of his Jeep that went ass end out then over... Note: If you remove that spring test to see if you still stop...

I was thinking you where getting your info from the track, but didn't want to assume. It's been my experiance unless you're racing the Jeep on a track (and built it for that) the brake experiences are 100% different. Track: You're at speed heating your brakes with a lighter vehicle more...

Greens are a great low dust pad. Yellows are not a low dust pad (they do have plenty of dust) and simply are not just better then stock. The difference is huge, I have simply not found a better pad for Jeeps (I am not a retailer of these pads). You're argument about greens may have some teeth...

Yes I have tried the Hawk pad people were recommending (I forget the series) with the power slot rotors (I tried them with Centric premiums, not slotted). They where about as good as most premium sets but not good enough to actually buy. They're better then stock, but not a ton better. You...

I'll toss it what we have learned when testing our kits with many different rotors and pads. All test were with 35 inch tires, results would vary with smaller tires. Performance Friction pads: Works great hot, poorly cold were the complaints I got from customers. Not all customers, but about...

If the apps are the Ford Explorer you're off to a good start. I'd dump the slotted rotors, EBC green is good as well as Factory Ford. However, if you have already used the green pads and broke them in, then you pretty much have to keep the rotors you broke them in with. There's pictures of the...

At this time it's complete kits only unless it's an International order. I don't know when or if this will change. We are worried about people getting used and or inferior parts and not being happy with the kit. It's not just the knuckle and brackets, it's using superior parts in the kit also...

Yep, but not to just click and buy. We have you remove the brake booster rod from the brake pedal and give us a code on that rod.
