    Default Rear rotor/caliper upgrade

    Hey all I have been toying with the idea of upgrading the brakes/calipers on my TJ VRX. There is heaps of info about the fronts i.e. 380 front rotors and calipers. But what can i update the rear with?
    Yes I have tried the search function

    Are spacers safe as we are talking about the braking system on a car and are they legal?

    They are safe and go behind the disc as the hat size is different on the awd.

    Personally I do not like the spacers, have had issues with rotors being off centre, it also takes the rotor off the hub centre as well as the wheel moving the load onto the wheel studs

    Im not completely into spacers myself to be honest i think the standard rears are fine if anything put on some twin pot fronts and braided lines through out+ new fluid and decent pads will make a huge difference

    I wouldn't even consider spacers for rotors. Twin pot calipers up front sound good thou.

    The 380 brake upgrade with decent rotors/pads should be more than enough for a standard TJ VRX.
