Brembo Upgrade with Centric Calipers
#22
#23
No master cylinder or distribution block is necessary for this? I assume fluid volume in the Brembos is greater then the stock unit. I thought I read someplace that the master cylinder of the Durango was the same as the JGC SRT8. This looks like a $1200 upgrade including pads rotors and lines. It's the upgraded wheel tire combo that will slow me down. I will likely wait until the tires are in need of change and then go with the centric rebuilds. That's a stellar deal and this is number 1 on my list of future mods.

only issue i had was the rear brake lines, they were 180 degrees off. The are designed to have a wider side for all's I can imagine so they are installed in the correct position. The Pn's are different than the SRT's but the front brake lines are the same P/N I would have to have close up shots of other Durangos that have been Brembo's to see for sure. I know if I hadn't noticed it I'm sure i would have stripped out the banjo bolt or snapped the caliper flange they use for orientation. I used the mighty vac and bleed them by myself. took out all the fluid in the master and filled with fresh and bleed, bleed , bleed and then re bleed a day later, went through 2 qts and I'm sure its 100% flushed and the pedal is great and the thing stops. I'm using semi metallic up front and ceramic in the back and after 100 miles no dust and not a hint of any noise. I'm at 300 miles today.

You can use the original dust shields front and rear, they are about 1/4" -1/2" smaller than the new larger rotors. I cant see how it would make any real difference.
You will need to buy front pads. and rotors. The front Centric caliper came with a set of pads but since i had to buy a new caliper for the drivers side you will needs pads. While there are many choices the stock Brembo pads are noted for great stopping but terrible almost unbearable dust. Hawks are ok and then their is a good dozen options. I chose the centric posi quite http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/77A4365A3936616.aspx
Rotors i ordered the Brembo Drilled and they run $465. found a 20% off at auto anything and they shipped a set, they went to Ohio and they were the last ones they had. I went with Powerstops drilled n slotted. I had good luck with them before $190 front and 150 rears. Shop around....
