SRT Brakes

[Chase023]

I have 157 miles and the brake dust was getting bad and I started to see the rotors score so when I was getting a few things done at the dealer, they said they replaced all 4 rotors and 4 brake pads yesterday. I wonder if they are using different pads now?

Make sure you go out and break them in. they need to be seated just right.

Finally got the time to put my new brakes on and I am offically noiseless. Hope to be dustless as well. The job went smoothly except for three issues. Number one, Chrysler did us no favors by not having a jack point behind the front tires. Secondly getting the rims off was a pain in the ass. Had to kick the crap out of them while trying not to damage the rims. and last but not least I was a good boy and went out to bed the brakes. After about the 3rd hard brake I thought I was going to get sick lol. I dont do good with sudden speed changes but I made it through. I didn't change my rotors so the directions call for another bed in sequence. Not lookoing forward to that.

Congratulations on the successful install. I know what you mean about the bedding process. After a while you just want to hurl. But it really does help with brake performance. I guess I’m a wimp….but motion sickness ain’t no fun!

I guess that means you won't be talking advantage of your free SRT Track Experience? Want to sign me up in your place?

I did ok on the last one until I got crammed in the back seat during the road course. That was a mistake….but I was able to make it anyway. Just puke on the other dudes and keep going is my motto.

Just don't do it while wearing a full-face helmet!

Can you imagine what an astronaut must go through when ... ugh! Never mind.

Just got in from installing my Centri-posi quiet pads and glad to see I wasn't the only one with a hard time getting the wheels off the car. They also had the lug nuts on one wheel at about 500 ft lbs - geez! I thought something was going to break but fortunately nothing did.

It took me more time to clean the backside of the wheels than installing the pads. Only thing I was not sure of was what to do with the OEM stainless steel clip-on shims, after forum consultation was told not to reuse them. Thanks Rick.

Damn, I didn't know either so I used them. I didn't noticed any issues. What could be a problem using them? After 2 days of driving no brake dust and no God awful squeal. I love the new pads.
