Hillcountrymac Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hey I'm about to replace the front brake pads.I'm trying to get the most stopping power I can out of the stock set up,1990 2 wheel drive.Has anyone tried the EBC pads?Are they that good or is it just hype?I'm not looking to do a conversion,just want the best I can get out of the stock set up.Any suggestions?Would slotted rotors help? What pads do ya'll suggest? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 They're good, but they will beat up your rotors. Personally, I don't much likr slotted rotors. That's just me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I ran the Yellow Stuff pads on the front of my TJ. There was a noticeable improvement in braking. Now I run Yellow Stuff pads with my Vanco brake it. I have never noticed any excesses wear on my rotors. I think the best stock brake upgrade is the Black Magic pads and Centric rotors. While I don't run them, my father does on his TJ which is built almost identical to mine. It stops pretty darn quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were softer,which color are you talking about? I was looking at the green ones. I run yellows on my ZJ along with Bosch QuietCast rotors and braided stainless lines. I did notice more scuffing of the rotors than when I had Performance Friction's ceramo-metallic pads in the Heep. Maybe I just drove it more aggressively since I had "racing" pads. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 As far as the rotors, I don't care for them being slotted because it's impossible to get em turned by just anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
