    Upgrade my breaks

    Not sure if I should post here or in the suspension section...

    Have a 2005 R/T bolt on mods so far: CAI with RKSport fiberglass scoop hood +CATback+Tuner (with custom dyno tune) now time for a brake job. Want to see if anyone can recommend an upgrade to the brakes vs using stock pads and rotors.

    Any suggestions on a good brake kit?

    Thanks

    Ralph

    You want just a pad & rotor upgrade or are you talking about a complete system upgrade?

    R1 concepts has a good selection of rotor/pad upgrades.

    Wilwood makes some of the best brake system upgrades available. Their kits bolt directly to the R/T spindles and knuckles, eliminating costly replacement of those parts as other kits can require.
    The Wilwood "plus 2" kit that I went with included all new 14.25" 2 piece rotors with 6 piston calipers in front, 13" 2 piece rotors with 4 piston calipers in back, stainless steel brake lines, street performance pads, fluid and all mounting hardware.

    Here's the kit that I installed on my car

    & 85mm throttle body - 6.1 fuel injectors - 6.1 fuel rails - 25% UDP - Jet 180 tstat - LMI 4" true CAI - MSD "Blaster" coils - 8.2mm Taylor wires - JBA headers - JBA high flow mids - Corsa catback
    Diablosport Intune - CMR by Ditos - Paramount "Dominator" 3000 stall tc & stage II valve body - Tranzformer shift kit - 226mm Getrag 3.91 LSD - BC racing coilovers - Eibach front & rear sways
    BWoody endlinks - Razors Edge strut bar - Wilwood big brake kit by TCE - W6A 6 piston front calipers on 14.25" 2 piece GT rotors - Dynapro 4 piston rear calipers on 13" 2 piece GT rotors
