Well its time for rear pads , thinking of using Wagner pads and just turning the rotors. The vech is stock except for the exhaust and intake air box, nothing special.Whats the members of the forum have to say on the brakes.

I installed the Wagner Thermo Quiet pads on the 98 coupe last November. Also used NAPA rotors on all four corners. Put about 3500 miles on it this summer and all is well. I have used the same Wagner pads on both of our Jeeps and have been had no problems.
