Those look awesome.. Congrats.

Oh by the way anyone have links or pics of that huge Brembo Brake kit that was mentioned before on some thread?

It was pretty simple:

1. Jack it up on axle stands
2. Take the wheels off
3. Wedge the brake pedal
4. Remove old brakes and lines
5. Clean hubs
6. Fit new caliper brakets and torque
7. Fit discs (you can check for run out, to uncover wheel bearing play at this point) I didn't as I knew they were sweet.
8. Fit new calipers and torque
9. Fit new brake lines and torque new union
10. Bleed inner nipples, washing excess fluid off with soapy water
11. Bleed outer nipples, washing excess fluid off with soapy water
12. Torque nipples
13. Refit wheels and tighten
14. Lower vehicle and torque wheels
15. Bed in brakes and enjoy!

The pads are already fitted to the calipers and the rotors and already bolted to the bells.

Tools Needed:

Jack
Axle stands
19mm 1/2" socket & breaker bar (removing/refitting wheels)

18mm socket (for removing old brakets and fitting/torquing new caliper brackets)

13mm spanner (brake pipe one if you have it, for removing old lines and fitting brake pipe end of new lines)

10mm hex socket (for fitting/torquing new calipers to new brakets)

14mm socket (for fitting/torquing new banjo bolt)

11mm socket (for torquing bleed nipples)
11mm brake pipe spanner (for new bleed nipples)

10mm spanner (for adjusting the brake line bracket)
Lever bar (for adjusting the brake line bracket)
Copper hammer (for adjusting the brake line bracket)

Jam jar/brake fluid container

Brake fluid

Something to wedge between the seat and the brake pedal

Torque wrench
1/2", 3/8 wrench

A 2nd person to help bleed the brakes.

It took me 4 hours to fit with just hand tools. I could of rushed it in an 1 hour with air tools.

I don't like rushing jobs, because thats when you make mistakes. It was a nice sunny day so I took my time, had some lunch, took some snaps.

Any questions let me know and I will do my best to answer. To be honest the manual Brembo supplied is fantastic and is in many languages.

I did have to get some of the torque settings from the Chrysler manual.

Paul,

The kit looks amazing!! I'm so glad you got it on and all is well.

I sent you a PM responding to your questions regarding additional Brembo kits for other UK limo drivers.

Let me know if you have any further questions, I'll be glad to help.

Sincerely,

Aaron

Jay,

Which kit in particular? I believe the GT Gran Turismo kit is the biggest they have for the Chrysler 300's, though I could be wrong and don't have my price list near me.

If there's anything specific you're looking for let me know and I'll get you some images. We're Brembo dealers

I was browsing a site and they listed a 4 pot & 6 pot front Brembo kit for the 2.7, 3.5, 5.7 with 355mm x 32mm rotors.

They also listed a 8 pot kit for the SRT8 with 380mm x 34mm rotors!!!

Now those would be something!

Does anyone know what standard set up does the SRT8 have on the REAR???

Bump! Such an awesome write-up!!

Do any of the Brembo kits work with the 300C stock 18" wheels?

[DrBReed]

My question would be whether or not those rotors would replace the SRT-8 stock rotors and fit SRT-8 calipers.
