[yjmud]

thanks

:banghead: :shake: :shake:

You are now officially OUT of the Windy City MARAUDER Crew!

LOL... Jus' kiddin'!!!

[ctrlraven]

I'd rather stick with stock than to put a piece of mopar on my car which would probably fail right away.

SRT = Stop Racing Trash!

Are they brembos? Don't listen to all those other folks.... that's all the car is good for... scrapping. I would imagine some measurements will have to be taken, and go from there. Probably will require custom fabrication which will be more expensive.

[yjmud]

brembos they are
just wondering if anyone else thought of it

[yjmud]

if I said gt500 would that make you all feel better

[TAKEDOWN]

^^^ Lol, YES! ^^^

Putting srt8 brakes on a marauder! :eek:
That's worse than painting a black marauder to a DTR! (well almost) :P

FAIL!!!

What???????

srt8= brembos
brembos=:coolman:
you can get used calipers for cheap so if you can save some dollars that would be better

[TAKEDOWN]

LOL, just giving you a hard time! I wished they did have Brembo brakes available for our MARAUDERa as an aftermarket option. I've heard positive things about Wilwood, Baer, and also Brembo<--- but nada for us!

You guys are brutal! I have a Chevy hood!:eek: I like your thoughts Eric, as the wheels are already a bolt on anywho... Problem is trying to find a used set when the 10 billion NON SRT/8 owners are in line!

[yjmud]

found a set I might get from a 300c for $200
can find them from 200-400 alot

[MOTOWN]

this could be interesting! i would think adapting it to a mm would be where it gets truly interesting/pricey

[ctrlraven]

It would probably cost close to what a BBK would cost if you factor in time and all.

Zack had adapted Mach 1 front calipers to his marauder. Search for the thread.

Looking at the thread, I don't know if I'd trust the welding that needed to be done, especially on brakes.

The SRT8 rotor is quite shallow making the caliper fit to it seem 'about right' based upon known mount offsets required. There remain a few issues however.....

1. The SRT caliper is frankly...a piece of Brembo crap. The body is a modular design and is produced with iron portions and steel pistons. The known problem associated with long term use are a lot of pitting and rusted pistons. Oddly enough the rear caliper on those cars is a fine piece. Pretty sure the front was simply a Chrysler low budget, mass production order.

2. The body of this caliper is known to be wider than that of the TCE kit. Combined with a wider (and larger 14.25" dia) the 1.25" width will most certainly require a huge wheel spacer.

3. The mount specs might be close- say 120mm hole centers perhaps. But the mount radius is likely way off making the rotor size determined by the net bolt up. In other words if it bolts on the top of the pad may be 6.3" from center netting you a required 12.6" rotor. Granted you'd not 'have' to use the Brembo rotor but you'd need a custom 2pc set with the required 1.25" width. (figure $700pr)
