Will this kit bolt straight on to a 300 Touring 3.5?
The SRT8 kit will not fit a 300 Touring or a 300C. You need the 300C kit, which will bolt up to the 300 Touring. It requires that you replace the factory 17" 300 Touring wheels with 18" 300C wheels or aftermarket 18" or larger wheels. The 300C kit uses a 4-piston caliper in front, not a 6-piston caliper.
Here's a couple shots of the 300C brakes under 20" Gianelli wheels:

If you want to bolt factory SRT8 brakes or StopTech SRT8 brakes on to your 300 Touring, you wiull need to swap in the SRT8 knuckles first. I don't know how complicated or expensive that is. Anyone who has done an SRT8 factory brake swap onto a non-SRT8 should know the answer.
As soon as I have the money the brakes are getting upgraded on my limo! The standard brakes are pants with 8 passengers in the back!
It's scary to think of stock 300 Touring brakes being used on a stretch limo!
I'm sure the StopTech brakes will make a big difference. However, you do have a less expensive option at your disposal. The stock 300C (Hemi) rotors are 1" larger in diameter in front and the caliper is much larger than what comes on the V6 models. In back, the 300C rotor is the same diameter as the V6 model, but it is vented instead of solid. So that gets you significantly more thermal capacity than the V6 brakes. If you find someone who upgraded their V8 300C to a big brake kit, you could probably snag their old calipers and rotors for not much more than $1500 for all four corners. I'm not sure it's enough to allow a stretched 300 Touring full of passengers to stop with the confidence of a sports car, but it's certainly better than what you have now. It might make a good interim upgrade.
Dave, you were going to get back to us after the Sema show, about putting on the srt8 rims on a 300c and outfitting it with the stop tech big brake kit. Have you done it already? thanks

I just flew back from Las Vegas to New Jersey last night and spent the last 24 hours trying to catch up on orders, phone messages, and emails. Tomorrow, I'm installing a big brake kit on an M5. I'll need a little time before I can test fit the wheels and brakes, especially since they need to be shipped back from Texas by the shop that fabricated the wheels used at the SEMA show. Trust me, I'll post results within 15 minutes of getting the wheels on my car.
The car was in Las Vegas all week at the SEMA show, featured front and center in Chrysler's booth. Here are some photos I took before and during the show:

The car's finish was like glass.
You could even make out the Las Vegas Hilton in the reflection off the back! (Yes, I reversed the image.)
Once in the convention center, the car was put on a color matched ramp and placed right out in front.
Here's a close shot of the grill. This was a 1-off piece made by Dan Baker at Alumicraft in PA.
