Anyone who upgrades their 300C or Magnum RT with a Brembo or StopTech big brake kit is going to have a set of take-off brakes sitting on a shelf. You could buy these and put them on your 300 Touring. They should bolt right on. That way, your front brakes won't look so tiny when you install 20" or 22" wheels. You could even paint or powdercoat the calipers before you install them.
If you want to consider this, I am one of those guys with an upgraded R/T and have rear rotors and front & rear calipers available. PM me.
