They gave me my money back after the third set. I used them on my '96 Z71 with 35" tires when I was in high school. The pads didn't last long. It also gets tiresome replacing the pads so often.

I've had the best luck with Wagner myself..on other vehicles. Haven't had to replace the ones on my JK yet.

I just installed Hawk LTS in the rear, the front are still about 50% I bought the set for front and rear, guess I'll be replacing the front when I need to do the rear again...

Installed Hawk LTS in front and rear. Wow, HUGE difference in braking response. My 37s actually stop on a dime now vs performing a leg press with the stock pads. Highly recommended!

Default Anyone tried the Rebel Restraint Brake Conversion?
I like their products and was thinking of doing this when my stock brakes go. Anyone tried it?

HPS are their high performance pads but need to be hot to work best. Recommend the light truck pads for rear of JK and ceramic pads on front

NAPA has excellent Raybestos brand brakes.
