People are installing the BR6 brakes. It seems to be the most cost effective.

It's basically parts from the export JK.

What they have in that link seems to be pretty good. Also there is a guy on the other forum doing his own kit using a twin piston I think. He hasn't finished yet.

Meah still seems .... To stock. Single piston. Not very familiar with the whole thing. But who doesn't know wilwood and brembo right? I can get parts if I need to right in town.

I have been following that thread as well. I really hope he finishes. He is working on both front and rear brakes, but it looks like it's going to be more involved then just swapping rotors and calipers.

I think the only thing is adapters for the calipers have to be custom made. Other than that I think it's all bolt on.
