Pads are there. Joe is keeping me updated, so that is great. I guess their guys where over at KOH this week, so I am hoping they check out my set and find out what is up sometime this week.

I've read a few negative comments on this kit in this thread ...since that time are there any JK owners pleased with the Big Brake Kit and have all the kinks been worked out of the kit ? Looking to pull the trigger on this product but would like to see some positive feedback first

So...here is my final take on the whole deal.
The bad set I had, was a weird thing, I'll just count that off as my dumb luck. The driver's side caliper was leaking inside is what I think. However, the guys at Teraflex, especially Joe, were phenomenal at taking care of me. They replaced the set, and I am very happy with it. I have an extremely heavy JK, and the big brake kit has made a huge difference. For the price, and because the TF customer service has been great with me (speed bumps and big brake kit) and a few of my buddies (bushings on lift kits), I'd say it's money very well spent.
IMHO, i'd say go for it, it's worth the $$. I have had them on for about 5k miles now, and some good off road trips, I am very happy with them. Previously, I couldn't stop my JK from rolling down huge inclines, especially when rock crawling, now I can with the BB kit. I personally haven't had any rattling on the kit.
I am eagerly waiting for a rear kit!! Hint hint TF guys, come one!
Previously, I didn't really like Teraflex, but they have done some great things with the company, and I am happy to have their products on my JK now. Great work TF guys! Thanks for taking the comments from us guys, and doing something positive with them! Keep up the great work!

I would like to think that rolling on 42's (both on and off road) and the overall heavy weight of PK's JK has put the Teraflex Big Brake kit to the test..... and it's passed with flying colors.
We've already picked up another Big Brake kit to install on my JK as well.

In regards to adding the Teraflex HD master Cylnder how come it's not necessary on 2009's and 2010's? I'm just curious why the product description specifically states that it's highly recommended for 2007/2008's and 2011's?

My understanding is that on certain year JK's the OEM master cylinders are bored out to a smaller spec..... which can cause a "soft pedal" when installing the Big Brake kit.
