Default Stock brake system VS modified brake system

Hi, What do you think about the stock Brake system performance of the Jk's?

Im thinking to replace the stock disks and pads.

What brand of disks/pads do you recommend me for a better high speed safety?

Sorry, my english is not good. Thank you!

I've had great luck with EBC pads and slotted rotors. When my stock wear out this is what I will be going with.

same here. They were a significant improvement on my Land Rover which outweighed my JKUR by about 1200lbs. Going to EBC when I am due.

Keep in mind that the EBC rotors that have dimpling or slots can not be machined for extra life. I use EBC on all my vehicles because of the seat-of-the-pants increase in effectiveness. The ORW company Jeep has Powerstop products and does very well.
