Brakes and rotors

[Mark Amendt]

Does anyone have experience using rear black magic brake pads and rear rotors (964/67063)

I sure do and love them. Much better braking than stock.

Considered other vendors but ultimately went with what has been tested an infinite amount of times on our Wranglers, by us average Joes.

If you care about looks and style, and want to pay a hefty premium, Adamsrotors custom makes rotors.

Thanks I have looked at different manufacturers and keep coming back to Black Magic. I have never used them, so wanted to get some feedback.

Just had BM installed all the way around. But because of the other mods I can’t say how much of a difference the BM pads actually make. I can tell you they’re highly regarded on here.

It's worth noting though the majority of your braking power comes from the front, so rear only you might not notice a significant difference.

Thanks. Yea I checked the front and rotors and pads are not to bad, but rear definitely need to be changed. Rotors in rear are in bad shape.

Me personally, I wouldn't spend a great deal on rear brakes, but I would on fronts since the vast majority of braking comes from the front.

If you do not do off road, OEM brakes are perfect for pavement. Too strong of a brake stops will get you in trouble from slippery slopes. These rigs spun like golf carts on icy and/or wet roads.

I only go on the beach in summer time, no trail rides or rock climbing and is my DD. Thanks

In that case, you don't need to spend $ for black magic brakes. Unless you are loaded.

Nah, not loaded at all. What are your thoughts on AC Delco or Bosch. When I looked Bosch is what is already on the jeep.

I have AC Delco to both of my TJs. It is good for me, never tried Bosch.
