Currently I am waiting for my drilled rotors to arrive, and I have some ceramic pads waiting to be installed.  I know drilled rotors = trouble, but they are not that expensive.  What I really want is some new brake rotors from Disk Brakes Australia or DBA.  The have a newly released drilled and slotted, witha unique internal structure that from an engineering point of view appears to be unbeatable.  Unfortunately no has them yet, so I will probably install them in 6 months when they arrive here. take a look... http://www.dba.com.au/2006/new_products/DODGE_CHARGER.asp I would get the: DBA 42438XS 4000 Series XS (premium cross-drilled & slotted) Vented Front What makes them better? "Kangaroo paw", don't laugh...  from a strictly engineering point of view it is brilliant, less warping, better heat shedding.  Here is a video:   http://www.dba.com.au/2006/videoclip.asp Check out the difference it made on a EVO on their website. Heck, if enough people want in, I will order case of them and deliver them at cost!  Maybe we could get a dealers cost deal... <2 cents> < Message edited by IXLR8 -- 1/5/2008 11:57:46 AM > _____________________________ I feel a need... a need for SPEED !!

They are the best that I could find for the 5.7 R/T Daytona.  Should be a stock rotor replacement.  The rotors are directional, with a different "vane" design for left and right sides. Disk Italia brand.  The pictures do not do them justice! Any comment? _____________________________ I feel a need... a need for SPEED !! GMG Daytona Only insecure people list mods...

Finally got fed up and had my brake pads replaced with ceramic pads and viola! the squeak is gone! On a side note...my rotors are crap and that is next to be replaced. Seems that dodge uses crappy rotors on their vehicles. As a matter of fact, my rotors can't even be turned, that's how bad they are. On a good note...just had my AFE Stage II CAI installed and WOW!!! what a difference. (in reply to atnyman) Post #: 19

Disk Italia for the R/T Picture hopefully.... http://www.dodgeforum.com/photo_view.asp?file=0;1125628 Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) < Message edited by IXLR8 -- 1/12/2008 5:44:00 PM > _____________________________ I feel a need... a need for SPEED !!

I haven't had any issues with my brakes yet at 10,000 but I am only waiting for my first brake job to upgrade to slotted and some Red Stuff pads and I've been looking around to find some high quality ones for when the time comes. May I ask who you bought them through and what they ended up running you? Thanks -Rob _____________________________ Life is a Highway- Go Mopar! TopBanana #772 (in reply to IXLR8) Post #: 21

RE: Squeaky Brakes - 1/19/2008 4:53:36 PM    IXLR8   Posts: 376 Joined: 12/27/2005 From: Katy, TX Status: offline I got them from Brakeworld.com, somewhere around $250.  there are two different front rotors, the left and right hand sides are different and unidirectional.  It has to do with the internal vane design, to better cool the brakes.  The online picture does not do it justice.  I get BIG compliments from everyone who see's them.  The really are jaw dropping kewl.  I went with the Hawk ceramic pads, although I considered the Red's.  I was not going to replace the rears, but these look so damn good, I cannot help myself....
