Overview
The Stainless Steel Brakes A130-4 is a Sport R1 Plus rear disc brake conversion kit with aluminum calipers for the 1976–1986 Jeep CJ7. It is designed for an AMC 20 floating axle.
The Sport R1 caliper is a 54mm single-piston aluminum design with a built-in parking brake, aimed at better braking and a firmer pedal feel than factory setups.
About this part
The Sport R1 caliper family includes a car version and a truck version, and the two differ in housing and parts. The car version has a forged aluminum housing with stainless steel internals and shares pads, slider pins and bushings with an early GM rear caliper. The truck version has a billet aluminum housing and uses front caliper parts from a 95-98 GM half ton truck. Confirm which version this kit uses before matching pads or hardware.

- 54mm single-piston caliper with a built-in parking brake

Rear caliper choices
A rear disc conversion puts a caliper at each wheel, and the caliper type sets the feel and the pad options. Aluminum aftermarket calipers are commonly chosen for their lighter weight and finish, while the housing and internals decide how well the piston seals hold over time.
On an older CJ7, the rear axle, the wheel hub and the parking brake all come into play when fitting a conversion. Confirm the axle type before choosing pads, and check the parking brake cable routing after installation so it works with the new calipers.
- Confirm the axle before ordering pads or brackets
- Check caliper seals for leaks after bleeding
- Route the parking brake cable clear of moving parts
- Keep spare pads with the same friction material
