Title: Breaks
Post by: cworkm on September 13, 2004, 05:45:58 AM

Ok, why isnt it possible to use a smaller rotor, for example one from a cherokee. The cherokee weighs more and uses a smaller rotor so why no take its break system and throw them on the GV?

Fine, brakes. Sorry I was at work at the time and was wanting a break very badly. ; :D

And i want the smaller rotors to fit a 15" rim.

The Cherokee is a different bolt pattern.  I would think CJ5,6,7,or 8 front disks would be a better choice.

There are a lot of companies that make 16" wheels now.  Almost the standard anymore.  That would be a much easier and maybe less expensive solution.

I guess you don't know that the rotors/calipers from pre-98 sidekick will fit  ::) How ever I don't think they have as much stopping power.  But you would be able to get 15" rims.
