Question 05 SXT V6 RWD... time for brakes, anything better bolt on?

My 05 SXT V6 RWD is in need of calipers, pads & rotors on all four corners. Hoses too for good measure.

Before I order all stock replacement parts... is there anything from a higher trim level or newer model that bolts right on?

Not looking to modify things or order custom parts... just curious if better calipers & rotors might bolt on.

Thanks guys!

No. The SXT has the same brakes as the R/T. The only bolt on upgrade would be the police spec rear pads & rotors (same caliper). Rotor is larger and thicker, the pads are slightly thinner to account for that & it requires a different caliper mounting bracket. They're like that to account for the extra weight in equipment that police vehicles generally have in the back. I put them on and they do improve braking slightly with the extra weight the wagon has in the rear. The SRT spec Brembos will not bolt to your spindles. The only other option is the later (like 2014-2015 ish) police brakes, they come with a radically larger front caliper but it requires reaming out the bracket mounting holes in the spindles to fit the bolts.
