Out of the goodness of their hearts my dealer "Machined" my front rotors free of charge. Oh BTW, after turning the rotors once they are close enough to minimum thickness that they will likely need to be replaced next time.
The rear pads are on national backorder. Estimated availability of 2/20/06.
I suggest you drive your car until you NEED brake pads, then do the TSB. The new pads are like $300-$400 a set! The rotors are about $112 each.

Dan,
Thats not the way to handle this problem. Chrysler is who put the pads ( to hard ? ) or rotors ( to soft? ) or both on the SRT-8s. My Rotors were so worn at 1500 MILES I couldn't beleive what I was seeing. Long story short was this. I told the dealer if the rotors wore that much in 1500 miles then what are they going to be like at 15,000. It was Chrysler who F_ _ _ ed up not me, and if they weren't going to fix the problem then there are other ways to handle the problem. My Brakes were replaced last week, 4 rotors and 4 sets of pads.
