Hi guys,
So when i purchased my 06 Hemi it needed pads right away and with a trip to VA (from NY) a few days away i couldnt order anything from online and have time to get them installed. i had a 30% off code for advance auto parts and decided to get the best stuff they had.
i went with the Wearever platinum and Wagner rotors.
I have no clue how the stock pads and rotors preform so, this is just based on the aftermarket stuff. initially the Jeep had no stopping power but, this is understandable because the pads and rotors need to be bedded in. so i followed the process of breaking in the pads and i went on my trip. Round trip from NY to VA and nothing!
these breaks felt weak and still feel week after 2,300k miles. these are by far the worst set of breaks and rotors i have ever used, i feel like i need to put my foot through the floor for it to stop.
i would not recommend any one getting these breaks and rotors. i would strongly go for something slotted like the RAYBESTOS r-300 or i had great results with r1 concept on my mercedes clk550.
as for pads, i hear that the hawk suv pads are a good bite but leave dust.
from the jeep liberty crowd they swear by the Napa adaptive One pads.
or i would even give RAYBESTOS Advanced Technology Ceramic a try.
