Default brake question???

is the rear brakes on the srt 4 the same as the r/t??? i know the front is different and i just bought a the fronts off ebay cause i want the big brake kit, but i want the rear to have a set of drilled and slotted as well but i found a kit for the srt 4 all the way around but didn't know if it would help???

thanks

Yes, the rear SRT-4 brakes are identical to the R/T rear brakes. The only "difference" is the SRT-4 uses a slightly thicker rotor OEM (for whatever reason they didnt put them on the R/T).

Some brake info you may be interested in.

Also found that the rear rotors on 91-94 dodge cars (acclaim/spirit, lebaron, daytona, shadow/duster) are slighty thicker than neon rear rotors.

The rotor on the left is off a V6 spirit. Used a wire bruch on my drill to remove the rust, and slapped it on the car.

The lower rotor is the V6 rotor.

Using these on my 96 with 2G calipers and lines in the rear.

Nope, the R/T and SRT calipers are the same.

When I had my SXT and I put the rear SRT brakes I didnt change the master, you will just need to get the whole assembly from a SRT, the rear hub will cross over but you need the whole backing plate caliper mount from the SRT
