Going to revive this thread maybe.....
Any more information from you guys on these two systems. I'd like to do this soon. Rather not fly off black Bear pass this fourth of July

I have an update. Been running the pro grips since last summer. The rear pads lasted less than 20k miles and already needed to be replaced. Dynatrac said if I am unhappy with the pad life I can go back to stock pads. I got 37k miles out of my first set of stock pads and 45k out of my second set of stock rears before the pro grips were installed.
FYI replacement rear pads from Dynatrac directly were about $60 so not terribly expensive but the life isn't great.

Either will be a major improvement. But, frankly the Mopar performance BBK P5160051 at $650 is the best value out there.

I called him on the Mopar. It was for the front only. B
Master cylinder, booster, brake lines, 13" rotors, dual piston calipers and pads. $649.00. Don't seem too bad

On pad wear with any brake system, a lot depends on the driving style, and the weight of the vehicle. The performance pad material we use in our ProGrip kits is a higher friction compound than the factory pads, so they will naturally wear faster than a stock pad.
One of the design features of the Dynatrac ProGrip kit is retaining the stock calipers. This means you can switch back to the factory pads if you want. They will last longer, but you will give up some of the braking performance of the system.
A big advantage of our ProGrip kit is not having to touch the hydraulic part of the brake system for installation, eliminating the need to bleed the brakes, which on a modern ABS system requires more than just the old method of crack the bleeder screw, pump the pedal, close the bleeder screw. ProGrip is a one-man job: simple, straightforward, and without changing master cylinder or calipers, you end up with much more powerful, street and trail capable brakes at all four corners of your Jeep.

That American stamp is worth the extra for me. But it would sell like hotcakes if the price point could be closer to the other options without losing quality. I'm on the fence but leaning towards dynatrac

You guys make some pretty outstanding stuff which i am definately a fan of not to mention being made in America and all but this coming from an average joe I will tell you your prices are very high across the board. I understand the whole "pay for quality" but your prices I feel exceed that expression. You guys snapped out of it a little bit by lowering the price of your rebuild kit for the balljoints and that's great. But $1k for brackets, rotors and pads? Again this is coming from the average middle income earner that is neither wealthy nor poor just giving out an opinion shared by many I know in this community. Once again a big fan of dynatrac and I share these thoughts with nothing but respect for the company and its employees.
