High Performance Brake Package

Hi guys,

First time poster. Not yet an SRT owner, but strongly considering ordering a '17....

I have a question about the available "high performance brake package." From searching this site, I've been able to glean that it's essentially 2-piece slotted rotors (with aluminum hats) in place of the stock 1-piece rotors? Same size as the stock rotors. At a price of $1295, that's a very good deal for 2-piece rotors at all 4 corners. The rotational weight savings are substantial. Can anyone confirm that I'm correct that the "high performance brake package" is essentially the 2-piece slotted rotors front and back? No changes to calipers or pads? I asked the dealer and called the SRT hotline, and no one could give me any further technical specs....

Also, in looking at the on-line photos of dealer SRTs with the high performance brake package, it doesn't look like those rotors are slotted. They look like solid surface rotors, the same as stock? Can anyone share their experience with this brake package and/or photos? Thanks!

Carmine

Thanks - this is very helpful! Agreed that the SRT is a heavy beast, but a loss of 8-10 lbs of rotational mass at each wheel should make a noticeable difference in terms of handling, responsiveness, and ride comfort..... But nothing will change the fact that the SRT is built like Haystack Calhoun.

Thank you for confirming! I was very confused because the "actual" HPBP rotors didn't look anything like the photo of the HPBP option on the Jeep website.... They look almost identical to the stock rotors.

Ended up foregoing the HPBP option. I will be getting RacingBrake rotors at some point -- so that I will be able to get 2-piece rotors in the rear too.

Actually 8-10 lb savings of unstrung weight are a big deal, regardless of how heavy the vehicle is......

Do they make the same loud clicking noise when making tight slow turns (like in parking garages)? The 2 piece brakes on my Challenger click like crazy, dealer says it's normal.

I had been wondering about this as well, so without the high performance brake package you do still get the brembo red calipers?
