WJ brakes V2.0

[RCP Phx]

So I've been running EBC Yellowstuff truck pads on re-drilled factory rotors, the brakes are incredible but they are heavy dusters! I've ordered some slotted/drilled Dodge Nitro rotors and some EBC Greenstuff truck pads to try out, should be a good compromise but we'll find out! I'm still running the Yellowstuff on the rear (KJ) discs.

Looking forward to your results.

One of the tests will be the proportioning of getting the rears to do more. Since the Green pads are not as aggressive, it should make the rears work harder!

Got the brakes done today, won't know about performance for a couple of week (break-in). There are some fitment issues with Nitro rotors that needed addressed and continued with a follow-up!

Finally got a chance to bed the brakes completely.
Pro's - they are really well proportioned with the rear.
They are way less dusting.
Con's - the pads are about a 1/16" to large in the outer radius possibly causing a edge that has consumed some of my pedal travel before feeing a firm pedal.
The rotor temps are great after extreme brake use even with towing my heavy trailer.

I'll have to see if that end will constantly break off or I might grind the pads back a little on the outer edge.

The best part so far has been the price! The Powerstop drilled/ slotted rotors were $84/pr and the EBC pads were $98/set, both from Amazon so if this works it's a great deal. I paid $135 for the stock re-drilled IRO rotors alone last time.
