small disks? Mine are 300mm diameter. That is stock size, and the stock brakes are good enough anyway, just need slight upgrade.
And if we were to increase the disk size, we do run into trouble relocating the caliper etc
So its just easier to upgrade to better disks and pads, as they're still daily drivers anyway.

Remember these wheels are 18" so it makes the discs look pretty small. By comparison the CJ has pretty decent sized brakes.
I wasn't sure, which is why I asked about it
The 18's just make them look ridiculously small, even smaller if you had after market wheels that let you see more of the brakes.

Nah, VRX brakes are still puny. It's just the OEM wheels that hide this.

For those who have RAs or their callipers, It's a very confusing issue for the pads. Please see:
For RA sizing issues, please read:

If you can figure things out, please provide:

Just to give you guys a heads up.
If you are looking at doing any track days etc, I would strongly recommend the red stuff from the EBC range.
I had the green stuff from the last group buy and they just couldn't cope. If you are not being too hard on your brakes, the green stuff will certainly suffice.
