I'm pretty sure a good chunk can be recouped when you sell them at lease end...

what problems did I miss - anything major?

less than you think!

Much less than a "big brake kit" thats for sure..

I'll post everything up when installed - experiences,
where/what I bought, prices, etc

i hope it bolts up too or else someone played a sick joke on me!

UPDATE: had front & rear calipers & front a rear pads + pin/clip kits in possession for almost 3 weeks already...

But I went for Brembo Sport drilled rotors which have been a HUGE pain to get due to limited US availability/stock...
After being told twice I would have them shipped in a specific date, It got pushed back yet AGAIN...GRRRR

So now I decide screw it, I'll get centric blanks for now (and at $400 less!) and I'll get brembos at each of my next F&R pad changes...no big deal...right?

WRONG! now the centrics are no longer available and only other options are generic ebay drilled/slotteds (same exact look as the R1 concepts and stop techs) or OEM SRT8 brembo blanks -

BUT these 2 options are SAME PRICE or more than my brembo sport drilled rotors!! So wont feel good paying that much and not getting best available product at that price point or less

So now I'm stuck waiting another 7-10 days for the brembo sport rotors...In the end I'll be getting the exact setup I wanted but at the cost of a long waiting period...

And of course I'm super busy and very booked up the next month+

so soon.... I'll be waiting on myself! i guess somehow thats still progress!

WHY are there so few rotor options for 2011-2014 jeep SRT8's? theres tons more options available for durango and jeep hemi's, and every other Mopar (heck any other car period!)

I really wonder if I should get new wheels just so I can put Brembos on the D.
