Just want to see some feedback about brake life. I have a 2020 50th Anniversary Scat Pack Challenger with 34K miles. I had it to the dealer today to check it out because of a pulsating feeling when braking. I was told that the front rotors need to be replaced due to rotor parallelism. Has anyone else has this issue?

 

34K out of a set of front pads ain't bad. On a performance car, its darn good.

It used to be, shops would spin the rotors on a lathe, and machine them flat again, then reinstall with a fresh set of pads. Fewer and fewer places are doing that anymore, and a lot of the shops around me don't even have a brake lathe any more.... They just replace 'em with new as standard procedure. Keep in mind, you can get equal, or better.... quality rotors for a LOT less than what the dealer wants to charge for them.... Even your local brake shop would probably be half the price of the dealer for a brake job.....

 

Dealer gave me a quote just north of $1200 for front only replacement and then the schpeel about how aftermarket parts are junk blah blah blah…

 

That's insane. But then, the dealership thinks their parts are made of gold, and charge accordingly for them.

Get a quote from a couple of the independent shops in your area. I am certainly you can get them done for about a third of that price.

 

Which brakes do you have? The regular 4 piston Brembos or do you have the big brake package with the 6 pots?

 

I have the regular 4 piston Brembos…
