I was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
The brake rotors from the Grand Cherokee and Caprice are nearly the same measurements though so I can mix and match. The bonus is that because of the 1996 Impala SS you can get performance brake pads for the Caprice calipers.
I just had my sister-in-law's 2008 Highlander in my garage on Sunday after she professed that at 150k miles that the brakes were finally making some noise. I ordered a round of rotors and pads and intended to spend a few hours replacing the brakes and the blower motor for the front, as it has been a bit inconsistent in operation. I put the Highlander up on jackstands and pulled the wheels off, and the brakes looked like they had about 10k miles on them.. I was just stunned. I ended up just putting some brake squeal compound on the back of the pads and sent her on her way. They are truly robust and under-rated vehicles.
I put 167k on a company owned 08 Silverado 4.8l. Oil, brakes and tires were all it ever needed and I beat the snot out of that truck.
The brake feel is linear and pedal feel is good, as well as for the go-pedal.
Brakes were excellent. The pedal was rather easy to push down on with little feedback, but the brakes were very powerful feeling, smooth, and the car stopped straight. Modulation was easy to control. I tried a hard stop and did not provoke the ABS system, nice it only comes into play when I need it.
Loose steering, very wallowy, crappy brakes, very much a truck but even teenage me though it felt ancient.
