Featuring an advanced aramid fiber-based compound, these pads deliver strong braking power from cold without the need for warm-up, making them ideal for spirited daily driving as well as occasional track use.

Designed specifically for the 1997 to 1999 Jeep Cherokee with the 2.5L engine, these pads offer a reliable upgrade over factory components, providing enhanced stopping power and improved pedal feel. While they produce more brake dust than some premium street pads, their superior performance under hard driving conditions makes them a favorite among enthusiasts who push their vehicles to the limit.
