You're welcome. If you decide to do the BR6s and have any questions just let me know. Here's the finished product.

Nice I wanted those rims, but they were out of stock.

The aftermarket 13" ones are a direct replacement if I can't get the BR6 rotors again. I'm hoping I can just get them at the same place though.

Those are the aftermarket ones unless they're made by Mopar.

Yes. They stop much better than stock with my 35s.

I'd sure like a fix for the wimpy e-brake with one of these kits. Maybe TF will do it.

How is the braking? Was there a huge improvement?

What pads did you end up with? Did you swap your rear pads too, as that seems to me the extent of a rear upgrade. I looked again and the rotors I was looking at were Omix-Ada, I know they're an OEM manufacturer but their description does not give the rotor diameter; 13.25" or 13"? I found a couple of sites selling the OEM Mopar rotors for less than $100/ea. so I think I'll order them first, then the calipers. On a side note, I was looking at the Teraflex rotors again for their under $300.00 kit. They are also dual drilled, like their big kit, 5x5, and 5.5x5, making me wonder, as these J-8 rotors?.
