Looks like you've done another great job for us all and from a timing point of view it's perfect for me, just as I wa about to upgrade my rotors anyway

Cheers

I better get busy writing the install instructions this weekend then!

Nice work Gojeep- and YES - you should be getting paid for this!

I'm having development flashbacks as I type - arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I have rear EA disks (as you know) but I'm wondering what the differnce in Bias will be for all those with rear drums.... Maybe it's time for a Gojeep bias conversion!

Yep, I've had an email from Tony and will be checking my hub over the weekend and ordering on Monday. The price for the polished ones is even better than you said

Cheers

Just punched off an email to order mine. By the way what year is the hub that these were designed for? My TJ is a 98, all should be good right?

Go-Jeep this kit is awesome, great work.

Kits are for both hub types with the brakets made to suit. There is a 5 mm difference in offset between the hubs that were changed in mid 99 in the USA for the first time. Not sure here as likely the end of 99 for us. The difference you can measure if you have a late 99 or early 00 but the height of the centre spigot.

Early is 12 mm high and late is 19 mm high.

Looks like pricing has been set at $650 with the polished calipers and $850 for the powder coated PBR Sports calipers in black red or yellow.
The braided lines you can choose in silver, red, blue or black as well.

The proportioning valve changes with the pedal pressure and starts at 50-50 and then increases more to the front the harder you push. The better the front brakes you have the more the weight transfer so you need less to the rear to stop them locking up first. The fronts should always lock before the rears to keep you in a straight line and I tested that yesterday and it still does. It will be even more so with those with drum brakes.
