I've sold my Brembos/spindles/etc from a Charger SRT8 to a guy with a R/T Charger for a couple thousand. Brand new from a dealer that stuff would be hugely expensive - at least $4000

I plan on using the 1st gen SRT calipers as they have the same bolt spacing and should be cheaper since they are still used on the L platforms and ALL first gen SRt's.(LX and wk) I will wait for wrecks on the spindles and buy a used set of calipers and rotors. Then have the calipers coated like I did on my SRT jeep.

What is your purpose that you want to put Brembos on your D? for looks or performance upgrade?

the brembos obviously perform better...but its also for looks. Its a COOL factor. I like making my rides to my own personal taste.

Im actually thinking of having some brackets made so the spindles are not needed. Look for more to come!

No doubt Brembos are the top dogs in the performance brake upgrades and no doubt they are pricey as well...G/L on the DIY mod and post some pictures when you get it done.

Scott,

With your cost basis, you can afford to pay just about anything for those calipers and still be 10s of thousands ahead. :thumbsup:

However, since the stockers performance aren't bad as is, look into the newer aluminum caliper covers on the market now. You can get them monogramed with just about any color and with just about anything you want on the sides of the cover (Dodge, Mopar, etc.) which sorta looks like it is on the sides of the caliper ala Brembo.

HTH,

IndyDurango

I agree. I think if you are into cars they look "ricer" aka cheap. To most people who aren't into cars they probably look cool.

Gotta completely disagree here, I installed some MGP covers last week and imo they completely clean up the crappy looks of the stock brakes 100% and at a cost of a few hundred dollars. If your looking to clean up and look and maintain a budget thats the way to go imo. Also let me state i've had 3 vehicles i've upgraded with Brembo Brake kits and one with a Rotora Brake kit on them.
