Powerstop Big Brake Rotors
My Jeep has been chirping when driving around. I replaced the passenger front hub assembly (I was getting a code). While I was in there, I decided to change pads on my front brakes. Hoping everything including the chirping would be fixed. I took my Jeep out for the break breaking in process. All started out ok, but on my 3rd 55 to 5 braking event, I heard the chirping again. As you can imagine, I'm frustrated.
While looking over my brakes, I noticed that the inboard side of the Powerstop Big rotors weren't as smooth as the rest. Not knowing what else to do, I started looking to just buy a pair or front Powerstop Big Rotors and swap them out. Problem is, I can't find a single place that will just sell the front rotors. Do any of you know where I can buy just the rotors, or does anybody know what I can substitute for the Powerstop Big Rotors? I'm pulling my hair out....

I have the Dynatrac Pro Grip brakes on mine and they really work well. I wonder if the Dynatrac rotors would work with your Powerstop kit. The Dynatracs are 13.5" in front and 14.25" for the rear. Basically the entire system is the new rotors, relocation brackets that move the factory calipers out, and new pads to replace the factory pads. Dynatrac sells the rotors individually and it might be worth a call or email to them to see if they could be swapped in rather than trying to chase down the Powerstop rotors.
Just a thought. Good luck.

Powerstop? I can almost guarantee that they woukld not make just rotors for a Jeep aftermarket due to a small market size. I would bet the rotor is sourced from something like a 1/2 ton pickup design. Try a worn out Dodge truck rotor on there - then if that works you know where to get new rotors. Don't worry about the slots and holes bullshit as it is a Jeep not a Ferarri and those features do nothing for Jeeps doing 2mph over rocks.
