    Doesn't the Charger/300C SRT-8's have Brembo's up front? I think most Chrysler's are 114.3mm bolt patterns, no? I guess I'll do some research.

    14.2" rotors...:/

    If I am gonna go that big on rotors though, they gotta be 2-piece, its bad enough how much the wheels weigh.

    Well wait, I thought you were looking into a 14" rotor? The SRT-8 is 14.17" by 1.26", is that slightly too big?

    ahh, well I see that guy finally got off his ass and posted more pics..

    Still seems like a pain.


    I'll have to look at my notes and re-fresh my brain about this. I did my own google hunt a lolng time ago but it seems it not as easy for use as the F-body guys.

    I love the look of the brakes filling up the wheels too, but I never got GXP front cuz I want to run my slicks and to be honest with F-body front and GXP rear my GTPs stops pretty damn good.
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them

    This is similar to what i wanted to run.... cept C5 calipers for smaller pots.

    I've been told stock 16's can clear rear GXP's...

    yeah GXP rears will clear 16's.

    The "general" rule of thumb is take the rotor size and add 4" and thats the wheel size you need. its applicable in most cases

    AH I was waiting for you to find this.

    yeah that guys pictures aren't very good though.


    Anyways, an update as to where I stand

    I have located some calipers for cheap (I'd rather not say price cause I would like to snag these for myself...sorry guys)

    We have located a better, cheaper rotor and got the specs for it. They are off a 370z with Brembo's. 14" rotors and they are 3mm off in the offset area. As well as the hub bore being 68mm, we need it to be 70.3mm...a little machine work can do wonders.

    So...all that said this looks like a go and in theory everything should work perfectly. IN THEORY
