What to Know Before You Buy
WL Platform Fitment
The 2022+ Grand Cherokee WL (and Grand Cherokee L) uses a different brake layout than the 2011-2021 WK2. Brembo kits for the WL are dedicated to this platform. Do not use WK2 kits on WL.
Wheel Size Requirements
Brembo kits use 15" (380mm) or 16" (412mm) rotors. The Grand Cherokee WL typically came with 18" or 20" wheels. Verify clearance with your specific wheels.
Front-Only Kits
Currently, Brembo offers front-only kits for the WL Grand Cherokee. Front upgrades deliver the biggest improvement in stopping power. Rear kits may become available later.
Brake Fluid & Bedding
Flush brake fluid when installing. Follow the bedding procedure for optimal performance. Color and rotor options (Drilled, T1 Slotted, T3 Slotted) are available per kit.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need new brake fluid when installing big brake kits?
Yes. Flush and replace brake fluid when installing big brake kits. Old fluid can contain moisture and reduce brake performance. Use fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid.
Will big brake kits fit my stock wheels?
Brembo kits use 15" or 16" rotors. The Grand Cherokee WL typically came with 18" or 20" wheels. Verify clearance with your specific wheels before buying.
What's the difference between the 6-piston and 8-piston Brembo kits?
The 6-piston kit uses 15" (380mm) rotors; the 8-piston uses 16" (412mm) rotors. The 8-piston offers more heat capacity and is ideal for heavier use (towing, Grand Cherokee L). Both fit all WL models.
I have a 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. What are my options?
The WK2 platform uses different brakes. See our 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee big brake kits guide for WK2 options.
