Yes - Charger, Magnum, 300C, and Jeep SRT8 models all use the same pads.
AFTER READING, MOST OF THE 61 PAGES OF POSTS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THE REPEATS I JUST WENT THROUGH, BRAKES SQEALED AT 4K, DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A PERFORMANCE BRAKE 10K SAME THING, 18K DEALERSHIP SAID OUT OF WARRANTY TOO BAD, HAD TO FIGHT CHRYSLER FOR THEM TO PAY FOR BOTH PADS AND ROTORS, FRONT AND REAR. AND OH ! OH ! OH ! THE DUST, SO THE TSB THAT CAME OUT FOR THE 300'S AND CHARGERS - IS THERE ONE ON THE GCSRT8 OR AM I GOING TO GO THROUGH THE SAME HELL AS ALL OF YOU. NEED TSB NUMBERS OR PART NUMBERS FOR PADS AND ROTORS CAUSE MY NEW ROTORS AND PADS FROM JEEP AT 2K ARE A JOKE, AS WE SPEAK, WEAR, SQUEAK, AND OH! OH! OH! THE DUST. LY'IN LOW IN O'SIDE CA.

No more Posi-Quiet (104) semi metallic pads until December (or possibly late November). Just 3 sets of rear Posi-Quiet (106) extended wear pads left. Plenty of C-Tek pads.
In an effort to get the answer faster, I did not read all the pages. Is DCX changing the Rotors and pads or just the rotors, leaving us to get pads somewhere else. I already have the scoring at 400 miles. I took it in to the dealer with TSB in hand (thanks Resume Speed) and they are going to bring it in for service next week. Just in case they are only replacing the rotors, how much for a set of your pads DZ?

Dr. Z,
Thanks a million for the Posi-Quiets !!!
The dealership installed the "104's" and the slotted rotors at no charge. Wow, what a difference. I bedded them in on the way home from the dealership. Your instructions are dead on. There were no surprises and everything that happened during the process was expected; smoke, brake odor, pedal fade, blue haze and all.
No squeal and no dust after four days. As previously reported, the pedal feel is different and requires more pressure than with the stock pads. Hard stops (just above the ABS threashold) stop the car without any noticeable increase in distance.
I was one of those that waited...I wish I had jumped on board earlier.
Thanks again for your efforts.

After reading, most of the 61 pages of posts, I cannot believe the repeats I just went through, brakes squealed at 4k, dealership said it's a performance brake 10k same thing, 18k dealership said out of warranty too bad, had to fight Chrysler for them to pay for both pads and rotors, front and rear. And oh ! Oh ! Oh ! The dust, so the TSB that came out for the 300's and chargers - is there one on the gcsrt8 or am i going to go through the same Hell as all of you. Need TSB numbers or part numbers for pads and rotors cause my new rotors and pads from jeep at 2k are a joke, as we speak, wear, squeak, and oh! Oh! Oh! The dust. Ly'in low in o'side ca.

As far as I know, there is no TSB yet for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, even though owners are suffering with the same dust, squeal, and rotor scoring as the rest of us SRT8 owners.
No need to go through any Hell at all. Just swap your pads for some aftermarket pads - either C-Tek now or Posi-Quiet in December.
(Thank you Microsoft Word for your automatic "sentence case" tool. It made the above post readable.)
Quick question is anyone feeling a little vibration with the new pads in hard braking? Will that go away after some mileage? Other then that they are great.
