Default Brake upgrade question.

I have searched for brake upgrade threads but most of them are outdated. (The ones I read anyways.) I need new brakes for my 09 4 door with 35 x 12.5 tires and 17 inch rims. Suggestions for brake pads would greatly be appreciated along with where to purchase them....thanks! P.S. Not sure if I should change the rotors, I don't wheel a hell of a lot , and its my DD.

I just got the top of the line lifetime warranty pads from Autozone. They work great and I don't have to worry about replacing them -- ever.

If you are looking to upgrade the teraflex big brake kit is awesome, you can stop on a dime with 35's.

My choice:

ACT1273 Akebono ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic - Front Jeep Wrangler - Ceramic - 2008 1 $62.33 $62.33
ACT1274 Akebono ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic - Rear Jeep Wrangler - Ceramic - 2008 1 $56.11 $56.

Not one complaint about them, been on over a year now.
