FAQ

What is the RFK.571.04?

The RFK.571.04 is a Rotora Street Challenge front brake system for the 2020-2023 Jeep Gladiator, featuring 6-piston RF606 forged calipers and 332x32mm 2-piece floating rotors. It is a direct bolt-on upgrade that replaces the factory front brakes for improved stopping power and heat management.

Should I choose slotted or drilled rotors?

Slotted rotors clear gas and debris from the pad surface and hold up well under sustained heavy use, making them a strong choice for towing or off-road driving. Drilled rotors offer sharper initial bite and a more aggressive look but are typically better suited to lighter street use since they can be more prone to stress cracking under extreme heat.

What color options are available for this kit?

This kit is offered in Natural Anodize (Zinc), Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Metallic Blue, Dark Metallic Blue, Silver, Black Hard-Anodize, and White, so you can match the calipers to your Gladiator's look.

What years and trims does this kit fit?

This Rotora front brake system is designed specifically for the 2020-2023 Jeep Gladiator Sport, Rubicon, Mojave, and Overland trims.

Why does the Zinc finish cost more than the other colors?

The Zinc natural anodize finish uses a more involved anodizing process than the standard color finishes, which is why it carries a higher price point than the other nine available colors.

How difficult is installation?

Installing this front brake system requires intermediate to advanced mechanical skill and standard hand tools. Most experienced installers or shops can complete the front brake swap in a few hours, though professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with brake system work.

Is there a break-in procedure for new brakes?

Yes. New pads and rotors should be broken in with a series of moderate stops from around 45 mph down to 10 mph, allowing full cooling between stops, and avoiding hard braking or extended highway driving for the first 200 to 300 miles.

Are aftermarket brake pads compatible with this kit?

This kit ships with performance pads matched to the RF606 caliper. Replacement pads sized for the RF606 caliper will fit, but it is best to confirm pad compatibility with Rotora before sourcing pads from other brands.

How many pistons does the caliper have?

Each RF606 front caliper in this kit uses a 6-piston forged design for even, consistent clamping force across the rotor.

What size are the rotors?

The kit uses 332x32mm 2-piece floating rotors, sized specifically to work with the RF606 caliper and clear the Gladiator's factory wheels.

What warranty comes with this brake system?

The RFK.571.04 is backed by a 1-year Rotora warranty covering manufacturing defects in the calipers and rotors.

Install Instructions

1. Park the Gladiator on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and loosen the front wheel lug nuts before lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands.
2. Remove the front wheels and disconnect the factory brake line from the caliper, capping it to prevent fluid loss and contamination.
3. Remove the factory caliper, bracket, and rotor, then clean the hub and axle mounting surfaces thoroughly.
4. Install the new mounting brackets supplied with the kit, torquing all hardware to manufacturer specification.
5. Mount the new 332x32mm rotor onto the hub, followed by the RF606 caliper and pads, and secure with the provided hardware.
6. Connect the new braided stainless brake lines to the caliper and to the factory hard line, then bleed the brake system to remove all air.
7. Reinstall the wheels, torque the lug nuts to spec, and lower the vehicle.
8. Check fluid level, pump the brake pedal to confirm firm engagement, and road test at low speed before returning to normal driving.
9. Follow the recommended break-in procedure for the first 200 to 300 miles before subjecting the brakes to hard use.
