Has anyone upgraded brakes on a Cherokee Jeep ?

Or can you guys suggest a suitable upgrade as I am due to replace the discs and pads next week and wondered if there is anything better out there ?

Thanks Guys for any advice on this subject!

Only upgraded brakes I know of for the Jeep are EBC, grooved discs I think. Try www.needforspeed.co.uk.

Would be good to not ounly upgrade the front discs and pads but change the rear drum for discs too...

I'm not too impressed with the standard breaking ability and it does seem a little forward biased for my liking - wouldn't fancy an emergency stop in the wet as I'm sure the rear end would try to come round!

If you do find anything out, please post here!

Good Point Iain.
I feel the same with my Jeep.
Im looking over the next few days and will post the info once I receive some advice from my Lads at the Garage.

Cheers
