ok i am running 33" tsl's with a 4.5 inch lift. my stoping power has not been the same since. is there a break upgrade for these(94 xj) or some suttable sub?
For "you" it sounds like the best idea would be to get some smaller tires thus negating the need for more "stopping" power from the "brake" system and eliminate "substituting" any parts!swany said:ok i am running 33" tsl's with a 4.5 inch lift. my stoping power has not been the same since. is there a break upgrade for these(94 xj) or some suttable sub?
The "valve" thing wil decrease your stopping power if you do not do oterh upgrades at the same time.Bob Myers said:I too would like some "valve" info. The wifes XJis more than a bit short in the brake department with only 33"tires. Swapping a 9" and 44 up front is not an option for this, nor would it make these brakes work any better.

Damn thats hard to read but, what would be systemamatic of a faulty booster? It holds vacuum well after the engine is shut down for a bit. It does not "creep"(pedal) to the floor if you hold it hard. And as far as a "fast foot" I bled them myself, by myself and have done such things for over 40 years with only a couple of units that just had to have either vacuum bled or someone help me with.jeppo said:Ahh the person who helped you, their foot mooved to fAst. And 4.0's Are exceptionAl torqe producers. you might hAve Air left in the system, you could hve A fAulty ooster, or you might need to find someone with A slower foot.
I presume i seated them correctly, same method i've used for years on roundy rounder cars and drag cars and other peoples street cars and trucks. A couple of really hard stops-near lockup point from about 35mph, then a long slow stop from about 50, a few more hard quick stops using max pedal. Never let hot brakes come to a complete stop, nor hold the brakes at a stop if they are hot, shift to park or nuetral until time to move again.Holding hot brakes at a standstill deposits minute amounts of brake friction material on rotors and drums and decreases effective stopping power.jeppo said:Ahh the person who helped you, their foot mooved to fAst.

And/or did you Allow for brke seating after you replaced them? HP pads tke longer to seat, not just a few stops. glzed pads'lll have similar symptoms. sorry, semi-mets set faster. organics-slower.
