#1 do not believe that dealer. Rotors are out there, factory Mopar slotteds are less than 80 bucks! See our vendors section.

Stock Jurid pads are expensive, dusty, but the absolute best at stopping the car from high speeds. There are dozens of aftermarket selections available in many different flavors.

Despite what they tell you, this car is one of the easiest brake jobs ever.

Do not expect rotors to last too long with the stock pads. A simple thickness measurement tells you whether they need replacing.
