That'll be good! Should make a great upgrade, let us know how that goes! Just did the same to my rado the other week! Came out looking so perty! Well worth it, especially once I get my upgraded MC in, might not hurt to swap yours too, definitely doesn't hurt if ya feel like it! Now I want to look into better brakes for the Xploder...I got a whole kit like yours to go in that I never got to throw on, yet, so maybe I'll look into the other brake related items...Power Stop K1861-36 (Z36 Truck & Tow) on order.

Oh I'm working on it, doing some accessory projects I had in plans, but this summer..! But that'll be gotten into on my thread, not here lolrip death row still in the background waiting to be revived
That's completely fair! And usually that tule works perfectly for the MC, a spare definitely ain't a bad idea though! But as said, never got my rotors and all in on the X so I'm real interested to see what ya think of yours!@DemonMudder Now that's a thing I'm going to leave good enough alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Having a spare at this age might not be a bad idea, but it's not leaking (somehow).
Those are definitely better brakes for handling those fat rubbers. Nice tread pattern, those wide lateral ridges oughtta take care of mud and sand.
I installed the same set this week as well, with calipersHad minor qualms about ordering the K1861-36 after hearing about deliveries with battered boxes and missing parts, but wasn't disappointed. Front rotors and pads came yesterday, rear rotors and pads came to day. Wasn't supposed to be here until next Monday.
All of it came, all of it was inside. One of the external (Summit Racing) boxes looked like it had been crushed by a large, heavy object being placed on top of it, but the external boxes had stronger (Power Stop) boxes inside, with more packaging inside, with smaller Power Stop boxes inside those, with more packaging... I'd have thought it was overkill, but after hearing the others' stories about ordering these kits, I guess the companies were tired of replacing components and started taking the packaging more seriously. No disappointment there.
The K1861-36 is the complete package, minus calipers. I didn't need new calipers, as mine are in great shape and I didn't want to mess with disconnecting the lines and bleeding the brakes. The kit comes with all of the necessary hardware, as well as lubricant for the moving parts. It's like a LEGO set - open it, put it together, and start playing. The lubricant package had an "exploded" diagram of how to disassemble and reassemble the calipers, handy for those who do order the set including calipers. The rotors are handily labeled Front Driver, Front Passenger, Rear Driver, and Rear Passenger. I guess Power Stop was prepared for those ignorant doofuses we all know who wouldn't pay attention to the angle on the slots and would put them on the wrong sides. Good move, Power Stop. I know it's a cliche, but the number of stories I've heard about ignorant mechanics who shouldn't be certified is no joke.
I'm planning to install it tomorrow, we'll see what life tries to do to get in the way. I already bought groceries and did favors for all the people I owe them to, so I should have a few hours to myself.
In other news, I observed a few years ago that my front sway bar is on upside-down. I don't care, but eventually I might fix it.
Was the sway bar upside down for the lift?Had minor qualms about ordering the K1861-36 after hearing about deliveries with battered boxes and missing parts, but wasn't disappointed. Front rotors and pads came yesterday, rear rotors and pads came to day. Wasn't supposed to be here until next Monday.
