I don't know how good they are, but it's one of the few choices out there for now.

How much does the local Chrysler dealer charge for factory replacement pads?

I think the factory pads on the 300C are excellent. But I don't know the replacement cost.

Here is one major issue. U guys might have been missing out. I looked at the rwd and awd brakes and rotors at the last club 300 meet. AWD rotors are bigger. So do these brake pads fit on a awd.

Bump---SRT Ceramic pads??

Has anyone out there found replacement pads (ceramic or lower dust) for the SRT8 yet? D.Z.? The One Lap Car reportedly had aftermarket brand pads.

jketron was supposed to show up at StopTech this week and leave his car for measurment. See: Anyone near Los Angeles with an SRT8 we can measure for a BBK (Bigger Brake Kit)?

He was a no-show, hasn't responded to phone calls, nor has he responded to posts in the SRT8 forum. I hope something bad didn't happen to him!

I had planned to pick up an SRT8 at a dealer near me this Saturday on behalf of a friend from Las Vegas. That also fell through, as the car did not arrive on schedule. I had hoped to measure the pads this weekend. That won't happen now.

Dave,

Well, that stinks...sorry to hear that things didn't work-out. I know that we've got a couple of other forum members in SoCal with an 'SRT-8' model who might also be willing to help. I'd let you use my car, but it's only a '300 Touring' model with 'SRT-8' OEM wheels...sorry.

So did you require spacers to fit the SRT8 wheels on your 300 Touring, or did they simply bolt right on with no interference to anything else?

I'll go back to the original thread and see if I can convince anyone else to let StopTech measure their car for brakes as well as investigate the OEM pad shape.

Dave,

Spacers were not required and they bolt-on just fine with no fitment/modification issues whatsoever. I'm currently running the Goodyear 'Eagle F1 Supercar' tires - P245/45ZR20's up front and the P255/45ZR20's on the rear. Both performance and handling have significantly improved without affecting ride quality. I also left my car at stock height and did not bother to lower it (via aftermarket springs) the .5"-1.5" which some others seem to be doing these days. My car looks fine and handles well enough for me. Good luck with your search for a SoCal 'SRT-8' before this weekend.

I (and others) will be anxious to hear about alternatives asap. I really hate having to deal with heavy, sticky dust issues, and was hoping to have aftermarket pads ready when my SRT8 arrives in a few weeks.

I read your opinion on another thread about "EBC" products. I have them on the wife's Rover (there are not a lot of ceramic/low dust choices). She does not drive it hard, but it is heavy; I have warned her about the rotor wear implications. What are some of the signs if it does start to develop problems? I plan on watching it very closely. We do tow a single pwc trailer occasionally.

Thanks
