um...dodgeforums...heres the answer...in less detal lol...

hemiyellow - i upgraded to calipers from an 07 and then bought some Baer driller & slotted front and rear rotors along with pads....calipers i got for free, and the rotors & pads cost me like $500 from moe's performance.....seems to work out real nice together, brake pedal has very little travel now compared to before and it seems to stop alot quicker

so not exactly the same response...but generally the same idea haha...

i was really hoping for a brembo (or equivalent) setup...the BRAKES (at least i think) suck on my truck...they are just about ready to be replaced anyways so this is gonna be a necessary evil no matter what...i want good stuff :happy: haha



so...on a scale of 1 - 10....

1 being worse than stock

5 being stock

10 being crack your ribs stopping power


how would you rate the new BRAKE setup?

This is what I did on my 05 Hemi Ram.

SSBC 4 piston caliper brakes for the front it came with rotors as well. Slotted rotors from Moes for the rear and bake and Hawk pads all around. I also did SS brake lines in the front and rear.

I bought new rear (stock) calipers and got the paint code from SSBC to paint match the front calipers and added the slotted rotors on the rear:

Then added 1 piece forged alum. 22" Centerlines with BFG KDW tires

Wade, are those the same ones from the link i posted??????

Yep Force 10 but just for the front, just remember the bleeder valve goes on TOP. I did not like the Hawk pads they had with the package so I swapped them out for other Hawk pads
