PowerStop Evolution Drilled & Slotted Rotors (REAR)

1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, Limited, Overland, Special Edition

AR8743XPR

Overview:

The PowerStop Evolution Drilled & Slotted Rotors are a premium rear brake upgrade designed specifically for Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 1999 to 2004, including Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Special Edition trims. These rotors deliver enhanced braking performance by improving heat dissipation and maintaining a clean friction surface under demanding driving conditions. Ideal for drivers seeking a reliable, bolt-on solution to upgrade their stock braking system without the need for modifications.

Engineered to provide consistent stopping power and improved brake cooling, these rotors help reduce brake fade during heavy use, making them suitable for daily driving, towing, and light off-road applications. Their OE direct fit ensures seamless installation and compatibility with factory brake components.

Key Features:

PowerStop Evolution rotors incorporate advanced design elements to maximize braking efficiency and durability:

• Precision cross-drilled holes for superior heat dissipation and cooling performance
• Rounded, chamfered slots that effectively sweep away gases, brake dust, and moisture
• Silver zinc dichromate plating to resist rust and corrosion, extending rotor life
• Manufactured to strict tolerances for minimal disc thickness variation (DTV) and runout, ensuring smooth, quiet braking
• Weight and vane count matched to original equipment for consistent brake feel and performance
• 100% dynamically balanced to eliminate vibrations and noise
• Direct OE fit with no special modifications required for installation
• Slotted friction surface designed to maintain a clean contact patch for optimal pad engagement

Construction & Design:

These rotors are crafted from high-quality cast iron, providing excellent thermal conductivity and structural integrity. The cross-drilled holes are chamfered to reduce stress concentrations and minimize the risk of cracking under extreme braking conditions. The rounded slots are engineered to channel away debris and moisture, maintaining consistent pad-to-rotor contact and reducing the likelihood of brake judder or noise.

The silver zinc dichromate plating offers a durable protective coating that prevents rust and corrosion, especially important for vehicles exposed to wet or salty environments. This coating not only preserves the rotor’s appearance but also helps maintain braking performance over time.

Installation & Fitment:

PowerStop Evolution Drilled & Slotted Rotors are designed as a direct replacement for the rear rotors on 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models, including Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Special Edition trims. Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or modifications, making it an ideal upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike.

Simply remove the factory rotors and install the PowerStop rotors using existing hardware. Their precise fitment ensures proper alignment and compatibility with original brake pads and calipers, preserving factory braking performance while enhancing cooling and durability.

What's Included:

• Pair of rear drilled and slotted rotors (2 rotors)

Ideal For:

This rotor upgrade is perfect for Jeep Grand Cherokee owners who want improved braking performance and reliability without the complexity of full brake system modifications. It suits daily drivers, weekend adventurers, and light towing enthusiasts who demand better heat management and consistent stopping power from their rear brakes.
