    Perhaps you've already checked out the pads & rotors on your rig, but the rotors could be trashed. A quick visual inspection through the wheels won't show where the real damage is on mine - the backs of both of my front rotors are destroyed. I'm guessing that's why my pedal feels spongy.

    I'm thinking of trying a set of these:

    I know the classic Jeep guys (earlycj5.com) had some good reasons for drilling their drums, but is there really any off-track advantage to drilled rotors?

    I could but that would require disassembling a rotor with a possibility of not being able to reassemble it. I asked Brembo for that info as well and they would not supply it. I finally found someone in Germany who had the part numbers (MBUSA did not show anything for them) and got the $10 worth of seals in a week.


    The stainless lines from Joe Darlington made a bigger improvement than new slotted rotors and pads on my VX and just the lines on my GF's '01 made me learn to use the brakes differently they were so effective!
