$950 for rotors and pads??? That's quite a mark up from say EBC pads and rotors. I'm interested to see some numbers from the real world testing.
You do not have to have a scan bleed for extended brake lines. I put Crown Performance extended brake lines on my 2011 JKUS and bled the brakes with zero issues. Where you run into problems is when you run the master cylinder dry. Keep the master cylinder topped off when bleading the brakes and you will be just fine. I used this link from Project-JK when doing my brake lines, http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-ups/jeep-jk-wrangler-extended-brake-line-installation

From what I'm told, right after SEMA or soon after. These are in production now.
:cheesy: Ouch!
And it's interesting that you'd say this as this was the primary focus of their brake kit. Not just a standard 60-0 MPH improvement but rather, 30-0 and 5-0 as well. These are conditions that we see in traffic bound areas of SoCal and even coming down steep ledges on a trail.
:cheesy: Man you guys are killing me :crazyeyes:
As Will said, not necessarily. If you let the MC go dry or allow it to get low enough to allow air to get in it, yes, the only way to get your brakes working properly again is to have them scan bled. There are some instances where changing out your brake lines can cause air to get up into the system and in those cases, a standard bleeding will not be enough to regain 100% of pedal feel.
Bigger proprietary rotors and proprietary pads specifically developed for Dynatrac based on their testing on a JK, its weight, its ESP/BAS system and new proprietary caliper brackets designed to help keep your pads consistently flatter. Only the factory piston half is reused.

I think he was just pointing to a spy pic of said dynatrac big brake kit.
^^This.
For those who missed it at Easter Jeep Safari and so people can see an actual picture of the kit.
Too bad for him that he's wrong.

Ummmm, since you don't seem to have a clue as to what you're looking at, that photo is of a ProRock 60 with Dynalock hubs. The kit I am talking about is for a Dana 44. I can assure you that even a ProRock 44 does not have locking hubs. Of course, I have personally seen the new Dynatrac brake kit and I can assure you that what you see in the photo is NOT it. :naw:
If this was supposed to be some kind of article of importance, you would think there would at least be some kind of mention regarding specs or what all you will get with a Dynatrac brake kit let alone have a REAL photo of one. Also, this post for EJS was posted up in August, literally months after the fact and declared that the brake kit should be available already :naw:
Okay jeeeez, I get it... you're right, I'm wrong.
Most people come on the forum and make their very first post introducing themselves or asking questions. You might want to go back and start there.
Could of, but that would have required him knowing better and know that the photo in question was not of the brake kit.
This is what I would've expected him to say...
I've actually been reading the forums for a few years, just never really took the time to post. But in that case... Hi, thanks for the welcome.
So just to clarify... you are saying that link I provided is a totally different brake kit? I'm trying to understand why you responded the way you did instead of just saying that the photo I posted was incorrect.

Well then, I'm glad that I gave you what you were expecting.
Yes. What I'm saying is that what you see is a totally different brake kit and I don't know why you would have posted it up like it was news worthy.
Gotcha. I don't know why you couldn't have said it's two different brake kits and be done with it. I guess we both misunderstood each other.
You're right, I could have and probably should have. Sorry.
All is well. Looking forward to the SEMA coverage and seeing pictures of the new Dynatrac brake kit.
