I’m getting a lot of information from dealers that doesn’t sound right. I have a ‘21 Challenger Scat Pack that has the Dynamic package. The dealer tells me the only thing I can replace Brembo with is Brembo. I just don’t have that money right now but don’t want to put on Car quest premium brakes another dealer is saying to use. I’m looking at ordering the rotors and pads and having another place(they said they can) replace. What are your suggestions to replace the Brembo and will I need to get calipers too? I wasn’t told I needed calipers, just rotors and pads.
You will here all kinds of stories out there.. There are different companies that make brake pads and rotors for your Challenger. In regards to Car quest pads & rotors they probably just rebrand them under their own name. They are probably a decent product. If you want to see different pads and rotors for your Challenger you can go to rock auto.com and enter your Challenger info, I am sure there will be all kinds from cheap to higher end . Though I would not buy anything unless you have a shop that would install them for you. As most shops frown on it. Hope this helps.
Thanks. Yes, one place I called said if I order them they will install. So now I’m doing the homework.
Unless your pads wore to metal (which would've been audible) or there's brake pedal pulsation (from a rotor that's become untrue) it's unlikely you require rotor replacement on a 21 model car.
You will probably need to give your VIN # to a parts supplier Car quest , O Riley auto parts, ect. Or call a Dodge dealership parts department and ask them what you have for brakes , 4 or 6 piston . You will want your VIN # in hand when you do this. You may also get responses from other members on this forum who know more than me asking for your VIN # I would suspect more than likely you have 4 piston calipers front & back , but I am not sure You also can tell by looking at your calipers if you're mechanically inclined, By looking at the caliper through the rim as you would see the piston bumps on the outside of the calipers. Take pictures with your phone and post them on here and I think that would be a big help.
