Hello everyone, please read that this only in regards to SRT8 BRAKE PADS. For those that want OE pads, dust, scoring, and all we run into a big problem, the dealer. A local dealer in the Seattle area has quoted me over $400.00 for just pads. I refuse to pay that much when I bought my SRT8 with the mindset "performance bargin". Dave Z. has a nice package for under $200, but I prefer the aggressive nature of the OE pads. Call me crazy, but I prefer maximum stopping power over low dust and scoring.
In my search for OE pads at an affordable price I started with Brembo. No luck, only info on rotors and full systems. Then I heard the reference of Jurid being thrown around in pad discussions. I looked it up and found it to be Bendix's European brand name. Going to Bendix I looked up our app and came up with front and rear pads that have matching
Chrysler part numbers. They are SRT8 specific and have the rear shims. I took those part numbers to
Online Auto Parts and Auto Accessories Store at PartsAmerica.com (CSK Auto Parts) and presto!, came up with matching OE pads for cheaper than Dave Z.'s posi-quiets. Not knocking Dave's product, just not my cup of tea.
I'm pretty sure all of my research lines up, but feel free to point out any holes in my story. My goal here was to find OE pads that don't include dealer mark-up or the cost of an inefficient supply chain in the price. Below are the part numbers and prices.
