Dodge Charger RT - SRT Brembo Caliper/Knuckle Upgrade 

Thanks man. Go for it dude. Looks so much better.

@@hyr0llr and the most important stops so much better. Test drove a scatpack with theese brembos and they stop on a dime. The stock calipers can’t stop the beast that the rt is. It’s about that time to replace pads rotors and called dealership for to get a price and they said 1300!!! Or I can spend a little over 2000 for something that looks better stops better and lasts longer. No brainer after seeing this vid. Thanks again for the video man. Looking forward to doing the upgrade.

@@hyr0llr hey curious I have RT with standard brakes I want to upgrade with brembo how much better does it stop will I even notice it??

@@Reality2016 my buddy (his car) says he can notice a difference in stopping for sure. Alot more bite comparedcto before.

@@tommydavid6282 thank you very much. Much appreciated

Thank you very much for the compliment. Cheers

Yes. I’m running 20x9 in the front and I have no issues with 6 piston

@@davidcontreras1013 okay cool! Thanks a million can’t wait to complete my swap!

@@DonInADaytona just be sure your offset is +18 mm

@@DonInADaytona but your running 9.5 so you should be good already 👌🏻

@@BIG_HEMII 9:55 i left the original parking brake cable.

Its just the tension being pushed down on the knuckle from the spring. If your cars on stands, use the jack to lift or lower the knuckle until you find the sweetspot to where the bolt can sping freely to pull out. Or if you have an impact drill just zoom it off just be careful cuz the control arm will shoot up when the bolt flies out

@@hyr0llr thanks. Did it👍🏼 appreciate the response

I would say so. I dont believe they would have different hubs for axle hub or the front hub.

@@Htown300 is it for sure not a front rotor? Cuz im trynna think where it would be hitting cuz it should bottom out on the wheel bearing before it hits the sheild

@hyr0llr for sure not a front rotor it like part of the dust shield stopping it from going back

I dont believe so. It should already be ready foe the 6 piston. Ita just different for these cuz its going from a floating piston caliper to a fixed caliper.

@@hyr0llr thanks I appreciate it

@@wiseman5647 no problem, let me know how it goes.

@@hyr0llr will do

1500$ for all 4 Including the bleeding of all 4 brakes

I dont, sorry.

not 100% sure. The rear calipers came with the line already attached so we just kept those instead of the OEM ones. Also, thank you for the feedback.

@@hyr0llr ok cool,appreciate it!!

No you can’t

@@vondaytona!

I used the ones that came with the brembo calipers.

thank you@@hyr0llr but do you think that the stock brake lines can fit the brembo?

@@gualamnhac im not sure sorry. I didnt take the time to compare the new hoses with the ones that came on the car. Looking on the rockauto website right now, they do look like they are similar, but i cannot give yu a solid answer if the stock hoses will fit

@@hyr0llr thank you for your info man, have a great day

Might right into clearence issure with the caliper and the rotor. Not 100% so do so at your own risk

You have to spread out the sleeves. I had alot of trouble initially installing it. Then on the work bench i had a socket on the sleeve. And extension that goes through the other end to then hammer it open so the arm would slip through.

For the rears? Yeah you can do that. Just gonna be a real heavy assembly to move around and put together. But yes possible

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I gonna do that job myself in a few months. I just gotta get the wheels in first and some other parts first.

@@rafarafita3005 no problem. very nice man, once you get everything together, let me know how it goes. good luck.

Yes. Thats what the vehicle i put the parts on is. A RT

The ball joint is spinning in the cup. Gonna have to squeeze the ball joint back in place and use the friction to hold in. Or vice grip the ball joint shaft to hold it from spinning then work the nut off

@@5.7_nightbrd i believe they are the same generation charger 4 pistons from the higher models

If i remember correctly, the original hardware works.

I could see how it would. But my buddy just bought the calipers. Im not sure how easy it is to find the whole subframe with all the parts.

I would say yes cuz its gonna come down to the spacing of the caliper and where it sits compared to the rotor. If you have the set already, you can test fit it. And if it works. Itll help someone wanting to do the same

What i installed was rear knuckle with oarking brake hardware. And rear 4 piston caliper.

My buddy(his car) says correct, too narrow. But offset comes into play.

That comes down to budget honeslty lol i would focus more on the brake pads. Like EBC or Hawk pads

Powerstop drilled and slotted

Im sorry but i do not.

I would assume so, since this is a 2019 RT and it needed them.

I believe you need the rotors for an SRT charger. Since i show they do have a slight difference on height. Wouldnt want to risk ruining the pads scraping the outer edge of the rotor

do the 300s come with brembos already? or floating calipers like the stock one on this charger?

@@hyr0llr stock ones. Only the last call 300c come with brembos since it has a 6.4L. Mine is a swap so I got the srt brembos put on.

@@xXCrayKidXx i would say a safer bet to get a scat knuckle just to be safe. Or if you have access to a cheap 300 knuckle if your willing to throw the money at it to test fit.

@@hyr0llr I guess it depends your brake setup from discussing this with somebody else because multiple sites say they’re compatible. I got srt brembos so i’ma just buy a srt knuckle to save the trouble. I appreciate the confirmation a lot

Brembo brake you have to source. My buddy got srt stickers and just removed the S.

No. I left the stock axles in. And this is an RT also

My buddy (his car) peiced everything together from facebook marketplace.

If i eemember correctly my buddy sayed these came off an on srt8

Were you able to confirm this?

I would assume so. Same suspension and all

@@hyr0llr I’m in the middle of doing the exact same before I realized you did it to a charger

@@JohnnyLivesAgain gotcha. Yeah ive worked on a challenger and i noticed theyre setup the same.

@@hyr0llr nice 👍 Just a starting my upgrade for the brakes Seen your post Thank you for the knowledge brotha ✊🏾

@@JohnnyLivesAgain yes sir. Let me know how it turns out when your done.

Response from my friend (the owner) 2010-2023 4 piston calipers that are on the Chrysler 300 srt8 or the charger and challenger srt8 and 392. The 6 piston calipers are compatible as well but they need the 2 piece rotors

@@hyr0llr with any year Srt knuckles?

@@darrencollison4044 i would assume within the years he said.

ill ask my buddy if he can see it. (this is his car). All i know is he found these on marketplace or craigslist with the title SRT knuckles.

heres a link on ebay i found. you can see the SRT emblem and number in the pics. www.ebay.com/itm/394259293469?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1RwPG0nXVRGOlGFLTnOg9WQ88&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=394259293469&targetid=1644837434843&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9032140&poi=&campaignid=16743749222&mkgroupid=138744546207&rlsatarget=pla-1644837434843&abcId=9300842&merchantid=584882282&gclid=Cj0KCQiAt66eBhCnARIsAKf3ZNGpTMLxmtvLBSXhs9qsQnz3f1-iUaqnxVWnvLTTC2KC013chWt_YoIaAnDeEALw_wcB

@@enriqueramirez4393 im not sure for the rears. They came fully assembled already

Ebay or FB marletplace or junkyards

Im not 100%. I just swapped it since it came with the car to do it. I didnt compare original vs swapped knuckle.

@@hyr0llr Thank you imma do some research on that but your video was very informative on the swap keep up the good work!!💯

@@Jaywitdahemidid you figure it out?

Widebody front with no flares.

@@hyr0llr where did u buy it👀👀👀👀👀👀

@@kobe2359 ebay

Parts were sourced online from part outs from marketplace and craigslist

I ordered them from eBay actually they are the SRT Brembo stickers but I cut the S off

@@Hectorp2015 ok they look sick I’m planning on doing that to mine appreciate it

Rockauto.com

Parts were sourced from craigslist and marketplace over time.

2015 -present on the knuckles

@@Blingblaow23 the knuckle?

@@hyr0llryea what year is the knuckle from

@@Blingblaow23 that im not sure of. My buddy( this is his car) sourced these from online. So now sure what year

I’m sorry i mean the bearings

@@Blingblaow23 the wheel bearings were the originals if i remember correctly

SRT front and rear knuckles. Srt front 4 piston calipers with hoses attached. Srt 4 piston rear calipers with attached hose. This is my buddies car and he peiced it together over some time using marketplace and craigslist. So all these parts were used, and he just had to get lucky to find each section of parts

Also they came with the used rotors also

@@hyr0llr mannn thank yoooou!!

@@dvii24dd new(used) calipers came with the OE hoses so i replaced the originals

@@hyr0llr my calipers didn’t have the hoses attached what route should I go check out my page

What year car did you get them from

@@dvii24dd Rears are 2010 srt8 300. Fronts are demon fronts

@@hyr0llr I need some for my rear don’t know if it’s a difference from R/T SRT 392 hellcat scat pack I have an rt wsid

If i remember correctly, yes it was

Ebay and local FB pages

Does original come from dodge they so hard to find

@@jerryjohnson1758 yeah they are hard to find. My friend(its his car) took 6 months to find all the parts. If you can find a crashed charger at a pick and pull, thats a way to get all the parts.

Thanks Bro the only ones I see is 6 piston that look like those ones

@@jerryjohnson1758 yeah im seeing on the forums that they look like they are interchangable. But dont take my word since i have no experience with the 6 piston ones.

As in bleed? Yes.

No. The back brakes are upgraded. The parking brake is the same but the knuckle is different to homd the uograded caliper

Sorry for the late reply. Im not sure if it works for the awd models. I would assume yes cuz the only difference would be the wheel bearing for the fronts. But dont quote me.

20x9.5 in the front 20x10.5 in the rear

I would assume so since they are SRT knuckles

@Rolando Robles okay thanks, I was figuring I know the srt knuckles work I was more thinking of issues with the rims or other clearance issues, or possible master cylinder issues

@@deadthybug4646 oh gotcha gotcha. That is beyond what i know. My buddy did all the rrsearch(this is his car). Im just the parts changer lol

@Rolando Robles gotchya, well I appreciate the replies, I'll have to look into it, if anything I'd possibly have to get different rims, though I wouldn't mind. I don't think there'll be an issue with the cylinder but you never know might see how much it'll cost to upgrade it, planning on pushing alot with my 5.7 so I want some brakes to match it haha. And sadly mine didn't come with the 4 pistons like i wanted, couldn't find one with the other options I wanted that also had the package that gives those on it, so I not want to upgrade, I'll probably get the knuckles painted or cerrakoted when I get my hands on a set though, add a bit of color in there haha

@@deadthybug4646what year is your 5.7 charger bro?

I believe he(my buddy) found them on marketplace.

You can use the old hoses or the measurements change?

@@enriqueramirez4393 different hoses

Mine is throwing abs light and traction light and code reader said abs speed sensor but they were good so what is it?

I dont remember using different sensors. And i would have included the replacement if i did. Is it possible one was damamged during replacement

​​@@eddieg9185and is this on first startup? Also reviewing the video, it looks like i left all the original sensors.

Thanks bro ❤️❤️

Don't think so, I did a quick google search and I read that it requires custom fab. But apparently there is a police pursuit upgrade for the AWD though.

www.chargerforums.com/threads/br9-police-brake-upgrade.377042/

Yes. Came from other cars for partouts on market place

Theyre different angles. And the lines came with the kit, so i just used them.

@@hyr0llr so I will need the srt brake lines from autozone. And not my stock ones

@@hyr0llr also another wierd question but the Banjoe bolt where you able to reuse that or does the srt use a different one. The bolt that puts the fluid into the brake Caliper

@@anthonysnow-il4tv if you can make the stocks work then run it lol I used the originals i believe. But i would get new copper washers. I had a leak on one of the calipers so i had to take the hose off and replace them

@@hyr0llr gotcha had someone tell me also that the wheel bearing won’t fit the axle so you have to keep the rt one and put it in the srt knuncle

4 piston

Will the 6 piston fit fine?

@@visioncesar9624 it should yes. My buddy just found these for a good deal.

These are SRT knuckles. Unless im misunderstanding your question.

@hyr0llr yes, but srt8 are srt from 2014 and before, I was just wondering if those knuckles had the right fit for the calipers and rotors

@@rndyxd6874 ohhh i understand now. I honestly dont know. I would assume they might have changed as the car developed over the years

@@hyr0llr oh I see, thanks.

@@rndyxd6874 yea you can still use the srt8 knuckles

Pieced it together from marketplace and craigslist.

Can Yhu tell me what all I need

Been tried to do this for months na
