Default Rotors and Brakes

Wondering what everyone recommends for front rotors and brakes. My 02 need a set and I will be doing it myself. Also, is there anything special or difficult about a front brake job versus just about any other car out there? Don't want to tear it apart and find I need a special tool or something.

Thanks for the advice.

There's nothing special to it. I purchased from AutoZone and went with Duralast Gold pads. Took a little over an hour for both sides.

your dealer should have something called a "make it new brake kit", which includes mopar value line brake set and rotors
#VDR05556AD and lists for $165.00 not a bad deal

not all dealers are stealers

Hawk brake pads are the most advanced, safest brake pads on the market. Hawk brake pads are a combination of Aerospace design and the latest braking technology. All Hawk brake pads are extremely gentle on your rotors, engage silently, and last a long time..check this for dodge brake pads..

A lot of guys are going with PowerSlot rotors, there was a poll on another forum not too long ago, and they were the most popular aftermarket by far...
