More food for thought. Not to bash Warn (very good product as well), but to do an honest cost analysis between the two, the cost difference would not only add the cost of the rotors, but the maching as well. The OD of both the "hat" area of the rotor, and the OD of the rotor itself must be machined down. This cost can be a significant factor, depending on machine shop costs/availability.

I was about to ask a question concerning this upgrade and "bam" Solid has a kit for it. Not on my immediate list of upgrades but I will be getting it. Not for any MPG increase, for the other benefits. JK owners sure do watch the MPG a lot.

any idea how large of an opening the wheel needs to have in order for the hub to go through it??
i want to get it but was thinking of keeping my rubicon wheels, and getting some wheelspacers that will allow me to keep the stock bolt pattern

Not to mention warn does not have a working Hub Kit for the JK.
Solid is the first one to make the ESP work with a hub kit.
