A component package designed to replace the existing drum brake system on a specific vehicle model, the 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, with a more modern and efficient disk brake system. This aftermarket solution typically includes essential parts such as rotors, calipers, brake pads, mounting brackets, and sometimes a new master cylinder or proportioning valve to ensure compatibility and optimal braking performance.
Retrofitting the braking mechanism on older vehicles provides enhanced stopping power, improved heat dissipation, and reduced brake fade compared to traditional drum brakes. This upgrade contributes to increased safety and reliability, especially under demanding driving conditions or when towing. The transition reflects a desire to improve vehicle performance and align it with contemporary automotive standards, addressing limitations inherent in the original factory configuration.
