don't tell me that, the closest dealership to me wanted over $50 each. all the other dealerships were at least a 45 minute drive away... fr|ggin crooks.

 

Yep, shop around - tell them you can get it for that price and have them match it.

 

b@stards even gave me a "military discount" of $0.80
didn't know there was such a big difference between dodge dealerships... the mitsu dealers pull their prices from the central databank so it's all the same wherever you go.
thanks for the heads up!

 

I would just get the brackets from Dodge and the pads and rotors from somewhere else. Rotors perhaps depending on how much. Most autozone rotors are made in China and I am done using Chinese parts. I went with Brembo rotors which were made in Brazil. I went with Hawk pads which are superior to factory pads. Most high dollar pads cant be beat ie Hawk, Akibono, ATE, Hawkhead Automotive, etc.

 

Jason,
I have been watching this write up and you did a great job on it and thank you for doing it !!!
question: will this upgrade work on my 1999 ?
some conflicting info on other write ups and posts

thanks again,
Patrick

 

no it will not. 94-99 used the stud through the hub and rotor.

 

What service? I'm USN.

 

No, unfortunately you are out of luck. You have to have the rotors that go over the studs to do this swap.

 

sweet, i already have chrome h2s on my truck and an old set of 05 rotors in the shead!

 

just done this on my 02 and it made a huge difference.

 

What parts did you go with?

UPDATE: Still LOVING this brake swap. Incredible difference in stopping power.

 

When I bought my rotors and disc. they came of ebay and for 100.00 more I got rear rotors and disc. Should I chuck this as a opps or can the rears also be changed out since I have the rotors and pads. and does anybody know what I need. Thanks.

 

anybody?

 

I do not know if anyone has tried. Take one of your rear wheels off and see if the rotors are larger. If they are then pull the caliper and 1 brake pad and see if they are the same or not. If they are not, and both are larger then I would order rear caliper brackets the same as the front swap procedure.

Make sure to let us know if you try it. I am sure no one else has tried yet since there is really no point in the added cost of upgrading the rears (that is unless you need rotors anyways) since rears do 10-15% of the braking and with the fronts upgraded, the rears are not needed other than a nice set of pads.

 

i'd have to find the thread, but I believe the 3rd gen rotor (rear) fits without swaping brackets

I'll try to find the thread
