Brembo brake questions
Hi all, Has anybody done any swaps with the srt8 charger Brembo calipers? I was offered a pair of them. I know they are expensive but could they be a good candidate for a brake upgrade on a muscle/ pro tour car?

I put them on my Mercedes. They make great brakes. I don't know if anyone makes a bracket for them on muscle cars, so you would have to fab one.

SRT Calipers are 4-Piston calipers.

thanks. I guess nobody has done this yet. I'll have to get the specs form Mopar or Brembo.

I have a set of these too. my plan is to put them on my satellite, but so many things have gotten in the way I havent done much yet.
from searching..
front calipers are made for a 360x32 mm rotor, and both sets of pistons are 44mm diameter
the rears are made for a 350mm rotor and both sets of pistons are 32mm diameter. one issue I had with mine was that the mounting surface on the caliper , with the cherokee srt8 rotors i was using, ended up being right in line with that of the upright, so i had to go compare other rotors. FYI mid 90's cobra front rotors fit the rear calipers great, but obviously everything would be different for your car, just be aware of the hat offset of the rotor and clearance to your wheels.

I looked into putting them on my mustang but choose to go with the cts-v, which are physically a larger caliper. Same setup, check your rotor thickness, Hub bore, decide whether or not your bolt patten is the same if not you may need to take it to a machinist to have them re drilled and then get them turned, and build a bracket out of 1/2 thick metal.
