Owner reviews for brake pads

Well, the brake pads aren't stock - I've replaced them a few times.

Pair of brembo replacements is 200ish pads hawks like 80 rears just use centric rotors and hawk pads it should be under 600 to do all 4 yourself this car is pretty easy to do.

I went with Paragon pads and rotors for 1750 out the door. I did diy but I remember the parts being less than what the dealer quoted for the oem brembos.

on stock caliper, I recommend these

Girodisc Front rotors

OEM rear rotors

EBC Yellow pad front, rear

SRF Castrol DOT4 brake fluid.

The Cherokee Trailhawk has “lifetime brakes”, I sold mine at 100k miles and still had the original pads and rotors with about ton of life left.

I also have a 2002 LS430, and my last brake job was with PowerStop Z23 pads front and rear plus raybestos rotors. I love this setup. It’s smooth, she stops on a dime and its also clean.

My wife has 2014 XT since new and we are at 93k miles all stock brakes including rotors and pads. The only thing changed was brake fluid as part of regular maintenance interval.

I recommend powerstop pads and drilled/slotted rotors. I put about 40-50k miles a year or longer on my car (depends on driving habits too).

Pros: they fit perfectly, offer great performance and are cool enough to work on immediately after driving. Con: they sent the brakes for the electric parking brake when I have the cable parking brake. They have been 0 help in providing the bracket to adapt it to the cable break.

the brakes just didn't like slowing from 140 to 90, even though that's something I regularly do on the highway - it doesn't like it then either, but it was scarier on track. What I mean by "the brakes didn't like it" is that after one or maximum 2 hard brakes, the pedal and steering wheel transmit a horrible vibration everytime I even touch the brakes, and this goes on until I presume the brakes have either cooled off, or the rotors have bent themselves back into shape.
