OK, i posted about 2 weeks ago looking for info on break pads for my 02 TJ.



At the recommendation of a few people i went looking for Performance frictions. Thier website says i need Model 447 pads. I called up a place and they said Performance friction doesnt make a model for 02 TJ and that the 447 is for older wranglers. He also said that the shape of the pad is the same, but the spring config is different.



I also looked up Bosch pads and few others, they all say 447.



Can anyone shed some light on this. does the spring config make a big difference. Is 447 the correct application?



thanks in advance for all the help.

The correct Bosch front pads for an '02 TJ is #RBC 477 (not 447)

Mine was so awful on brakes ('99 TJ with 31 x 10.50, 8" rims) that I went and got Raybestos at Midas. They replace them for free for life. I had to put 2 sets in in 2 years before that- each time I drove the Outer Banks of NC and camped/fished, the wet sand in 4 low TRASHED my brakes. Definintely worth the money!!!
