    I have a 2013 Chaenger R/T and want do a performance upgrade on the brakes.
    I am having a difficult time finding a brake kit for this year and wondering if someone can tell me if the brakes differ from the 2012 R/T and possibly make a suggestion for which company, beside Brembo or Wilwood, to go with.

    All the SRT's have Brembo's from the factory. I would think that would be a good place to start.

    brembo's?

    the brakes are the same as the 12's I have a 13 and did some research so anything that fits a 12 with vented rotors will fit your 13. Now on to the Brembo's for that kind of money you would be better off trading your car in for the SRT $4000 per axle I think for $8000 and your R/T you could probably trade for a 2012 SRT, There are many rotor/pad options out there from $300 to $600 if you do upgrade post it here and let me know if it was worth the money, as I am to understand the 13 got a brake upgrade, probably in the master cylinder or anti lock system to give them a firmer feel. I do like the look of the drilled and grooved rotor. Best of luck on you journey to stopping better.

    You can get Dodge Challenger big brakes from AutoAnything for a great low price.

    Check out stainless steel brake co : ssbrakes.com

    Still not cheap but not quite as pricey as the Brembos.

    Look into the Charger police package. Far less expensive than Brembo's and nearly as good.

    Hey I have a 13 Challenger RT and did a complete brake upgrade. I bought everything on amazon from a company called Detroit Axel. Came with drilled/slotted rotors and pads. They work great!

    But the "Brembo" gives you .25 sec off your 1/4 mile times :)
