Subject: New brakes ordered... November 17th 2010, 9:33 am
Finally time to replace my worn out stockers...got 56,000 on them, and I can feel some strangeness going on in them (mushy in the rain, "popping" at low speeds when parking). Ordered the Stoptech pads and the R1 Concepts cross-drilled and slotted rotors.
Now I just gotta find either the time and help do to it (never done rotors before), or find a good place to do it for me.
Definitely gotta be able to stop in winter...LOL
Just tossing this out there...realized I forgot to post this up on CAMM, and I had only done it on the ForumZ...oops!

Well since you're not that far from me I'd be willing to give you a hand on the weekend once they get here.I replaced mine in the Magnum and my Jeep Commander to dimpled and slotted rotors and I love them

Please check the rotors over when you get them look for cracks etc. I hope you have better luck with you set than I have had. R1 customer service has been great but product is so so. Let me know if you develop a ticking in the front brakes like I have.

Rotors are an easy job!! they just pull right off... unless our's are like some fords and have the wheel bearing pressed into the rotor, but i dont think thats the case with ours...

super easy a few hours, remove the old pads and rotors, remove the caliper slide pins and clean and lube, put it all back and torque 'em down. break in the pads according to manufactures specs.

the brembo brakes are super easy. much easer than the 5.7 ones. the pads are quick change style. take a punch and push the pins out and the pads just slide out like cartridges. lol. the rotors just take two bolts to remove the entire caliper assembly. if your pedal feels mushy i would bleed all new fluid into your system.
i did my rotors in my shop when i was bolting up my race tires one day. my boss didn't even know i did it. took me 10 minutes to do both rotors on the front.
F.Y.I. in the future just get the factory SRT rotors online from rockauto or moparsupercenter. fancy ones are a waste of money and factory rotors have been proven to last just as long for road racers. our cars are just too heavy to make expensive rotors worth it, you will eat them up just as quick. moparsupercenter has them for like 70 bux each and they will ship from the nearest dodge dealers mopar warehouse so you will get them quick.
