Lol Wranglers have some of the worst brakes ever made, it takes about 150' to stop them compared to just over a 100' for the Z. If you have worse stopping power in a Z then you probably have a defective braking system and need to go the the dealer and have it repaired or replaced.

If you don't mind a little squeaking in the morning Yellow Stuff brake pads will make it stop a lot faster. They will get you into the ABS on dry roads if you brake hard. They are a little dusty but not to bad.
