My goal is 4-6 pot Brembo and 14" rotors.

I have not decided yet which knuckles to use.

WJ knuckle, offset TREs, and JK drag link, has anyone tried the drag link?

Not looking for OTK, no reason to. The JK drag link appears that It would clear the spring perch/bucket and sway bar link.


Thanks.

The 4 pot are very accessible. Just gotta source a 14" rotor with the correct back-set, or this- http://www.adamsrotors.com/slotted-brake-rotors.html

The 6 pots may cost a little change.Can be sourced from AMG and others. 4s should do the trick.

The problem you may run into is the taper on the ends. I'm pretty sure the JK uses a different taper than the WJ.
