Need to rebuild fronts and would prefer to upgrade if possible. Been lookin at past threads but mosly Rear drum to disc upgrades and none-too-specific on the details.
89XJ, stock D30 front axle, upgraded to 96 dual booster, 31s, stock 15" wheels.
There was some talk of ford or chevy calipers but hard to decipher which was on front. Adapter plates from Poske, again, rear or front or doesnt matter? Might have seen an article on WJ fronts but I dont think it explained why these are better (bigger piston, dual piston?). I would prefer daul or four piston calipers, not afraid of new purchase, Wilwood/Brembo/SSBC? Baer said they have nothing for XJ.
If I spring for other-than-OEM I want to be sure it is an upgrade, not just a swapout. Seems most brake stuff these days are cosmetic upgrades and very short on facts/details.
Does anyone have specific recommendations? Part numbers, companies, etc.
Thanks
