You. Are. A. Life. Saver!!!!! I am soon messing too replace my brakes and the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 I bought has Brembo brakes and right away I knew I was in for some broke times trying to replace them. So I started looking for alternatives. I'm a big stickler for "You get what you pay for" but I also like to find very similar products that deliver almost the exact, if not the very same exact, quality over brand name products and I couldn't find nothing. Until I came across your video. I will look for and research these brakes and buy some in the future for my car. Thanks again.

Hey My Mopar Brother. . I never knew about the Mopar Big Brake kits...and good Price. That will be a mod in the Future THANK YOU !! BROTHERHOOD OF MUSCLE

Thanks man, appreciate it! A lot of people that have this braking setup really like them! Let me know what you think of them.

I sold to speed shops for a while, put brake packages together for Mopar guys & if it was out of their customer's budget, I would also look at pad performance based on what they were doing with the car, street, track etc... There may be pads by Brembo, Stoptech, EBC or any number of manufacturers that has higher performance ratings with Mopar rotors & calipers... The key is everything fitting together properly but if it does, Mixing & matching can work & keep costs low x max performance.

Excellent point! Thanks for the comment!

I installed that kit on my 2010. Everything is a direct bolt on with 1 exception - the later cars have a 14mm bolt to attach the caliper adapters to the uprights and the early cars have 12mm. I bought a special drill bit to drill the holes out. If you want it let me know and I'll mail it to you. I also did the 2007 Charger police rear brakes - all you need is the caliper adapters and the rotors - same calipers. As for braking - WAY better than the stock stuff. When I bought my new 2017 R/T it was obvious it does stop nearly as well as my 2010 did. Oh, and do yourself a favor and get Power Stop pads so you don't have brake dust from hell.

I can't honestly say! I haven't had the pleasure of trying these different brake combinations out side by side. A track day with each would be the ultimate test to see how much better one setup would be than the other and if that would justify the price gap. For better daily driving extra stopping power though, it's pretty hard to look past the mopar kit for the price!

Pistons and supercharger or try a Hemi swap? The mopar break kit was a great hack for a lot of years for great cheap brakes but people have told me even a couple years ago they were really hard to find.

Willwood and other brakes weigh less but I’m pretty sure brembos got better stopping power, there is reason only top performance car manufactures use brembos.
