Part #: S30KF1027

Overview

The EBC RP-X Front Brake Kit is a precision-engineered braking upgrade designed specifically for the 2018–2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk equipped with the potent 6.2L supercharged engine. This kit combines high-performance RP-X brake pads with advanced 2-piece floating rotors to deliver enhanced stopping power, improved heat management, and long-lasting durability. It is an ideal solution for drivers who demand consistent, reliable braking performance whether on spirited street drives or occasional track sessions.

Built to handle the increased power and weight of the Trackhawk, this brake kit ensures confident and fade-resistant braking under aggressive driving conditions. The floating rotor design minimizes warping and maintains optimal rotor integrity during thermal expansion, providing peace of mind for high-performance applications.

Key Features

The EBC RP-X Front Brake Kit offers a comprehensive set of features engineered to maximize braking efficiency and longevity:

• High-friction RP-X brake pads formulated for excellent initial bite and fade resistance
• 2-piece floating rotors that allow for thermal expansion, reducing stress and warping
• Precision-machined rotor surfaces for consistent pad contact and smooth braking feel
• Enhanced heat dissipation to maintain braking performance during extended use
• Reduced brake dust and noise compared to standard OEM pads
• Direct bolt-on fitment for 2018–2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 6.2L models
• Durable construction designed to withstand high-performance driving demands
• Easy installation with no modifications required to calipers or suspension components

Construction & Design

This brake kit features premium materials engineered for strength, reliability, and performance. The 2-piece floating rotors combine a lightweight aluminum hat with a high-carbon iron braking surface. This design reduces unsprung weight while providing excellent thermal conductivity to dissipate heat rapidly. The floating rotor configuration allows the rotor to expand and contract independently of the hub, minimizing the risk of warping under extreme temperatures.

EBC’s proprietary RP-X brake pads utilize a specialized friction material blend that balances aggressive stopping power with low noise and minimal dust generation. These pads maintain consistent performance across a wide temperature range, making them suitable for both spirited street driving and occasional track use.

Installation & Fitment

The EBC RP-X Front Brake Kit is engineered for direct bolt-on installation on the 2018–2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 6.2L. No modifications to the calipers, suspension, or other components are necessary, allowing for a straightforward upgrade process. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and brake system bleeding for optimal safety and performance.

What's Included

• Set of EBC RP-X front brake pads
