The H2 Ceramic compound is Rotora's street-optimized formula, developed for clean, quiet daily driving comfort without sacrificing stopping consistency. Every Rotora pad meets the same material and adhesion standards as their big brake kit program, so RP.14980.1 buyers receive genuine Rotora compound quality in a direct-fit configuration for the factory Grand Cherokee rear caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat vehicles does the Rotora RP.14980.1 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP.14980.1 fits the 2011 to 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee on all non-SRT trims, including Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Trailhawk. It does not fit the SRT or SRT8 trim, which uses the RP.10530 series rear pad for its larger rear caliper setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eShould I replace front and rear pads at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing front and rear pads together is the recommended approach for consistent brake bias and even wear. The Rotora RP.14550.1 H2 Ceramic front pad pairs directly with the RP.14980.1 for a matched full-vehicle Rotora H2 system on the 2011 to 2017 Grand Cherokee non-SRT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the RP.14980.1 compare to factory rear pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP.14980.1 is a performance aftermarket upgrade using Rotora's H2 compound, which is built to the same material standards as their brake kit program. Compared to typical OEM replacement pads, the RP.14980.1 offers comparable or reduced dust levels, quieter engagement, and the quality assurance of Rotora's manufacturing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this pad fit the 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit or Overland?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The RP.14980.1 fits all non-SRT trim levels of the 2011 to 2017 Grand Cherokee including Summit and Overland. All WK2 non-SRT variants share the same rear caliper design, making the RP.14980.1 a correct fit for each of those trims across the 2011 to 2017 model year range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the rear caliper on the non-SRT Grand Cherokee a sliding or fixed design?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe non-SRT WK2 Grand Cherokee uses a single-piston sliding rear caliper on all non-SRT trim levels from 2011 to 2017. The RP.14980.1 is designed specifically for this caliper type and installs without any modification or adapter bracket required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan the RP.14980.1 be used with slotted rear rotors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The H2 Ceramic compound is compatible with standard, slotted, and cross-drilled iron rotors. Performance rear rotors can complement the RP.14980.1, but the pad performs correctly with factory rotors as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill the RP.14980.1 activate the parking brake correctly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, provided the existing parking brake mechanism and cable are in good working condition. The RP.14980.1 is dimensionally correct for the factory rear caliper including the integrated parking brake screw-type piston design used on the WK2 Grand Cherokee rear brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the recommended bedding procedure for the RP.14980.1?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerform 6 to 8 moderate stops from approximately 35 mph, allowing the pads to cool fully between each stop. Avoid hard or emergency stops during the first 200 to 300 miles to allow the compound to bed evenly against the rotor. Proper bedding maximizes stopping consistency and extends pad service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely lift and support the vehicle on jack stands and remove the rear wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen the brake fluid reservoir cap to relieve pressure before retracting the piston.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the caliper slide pin bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor.

Lubricate slide pins with appropriate brake lubricant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe WK2 rear caliper uses a screw-type piston. Using a rear piston wind-back tool, rotate the piston clockwise while pressing inward to retract it fully into the bore. Do not use a standard C-clamp alone on this piston.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall the new RP.14980.1 pads into the bracket, ensuring all clips are fully seated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinstall the caliper and torque slide pin bolts to factory specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinstall the wheel and torque lug nuts to specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump the brake pedal firmly until full pedal feel is restored.
