Great info... You the man!

 

Scott how long did this take to convert? Was it as simple as new rotors and calipers? Looks awesome man!

 

Yep....srt rotors snd calipers was it

 

Hey scott whats -2 feet?

 

As often as people spend money on aftermarket wheels I'm surprised people haven't done this upgrade and that this thread hasn't blown up!

When DSM'ers found out about being able to use Evo brembos they totally flipped over that and the thread got huge!

I guess people don't really care about making there vehicle safer, perform better and look awesome!

 

I guess not as well. I know of one wk2 and one durango to do this from here....not many.

 

Btw, did you reuse your stock brake lines?

 

New here to JG, which is a great forum by the way...Have done some mods to previous Jeeps I've owned as well as rebuilding top end on son's XJ. Have been looking at potentially adding Brembo's, skids, tow hooks to my 2014 GC Limited.

I too am interested in the question above as well as how do the Brembo's "feel" from a daily driver perspective? Responsive, touchy, significant difference, etc?

They look awesome...

 

Thanks Scott, appreciate the response. Added to my list.

 

Scott,

Did you ever install the rear Brembos?

I never looked at these parts so it may be a silly question, but could you install the old front 2 piston calipers instead of the stock rear ones?

Results

VERY unscientific test results



6 pot brembos(front only) vs. stock 2011 Durango braking system

Using one utility pole as brake slam point(emergency braking maneuver)
next utility pole as measuring point(just worked out that way) Plus I had no measuring device longer than 25 ft to measure distance between utility poles. Test conducted on private site/company owned/closed.

****I will add the human error in this test. I tried to start emergency braking at the same point on the pavement...but I couldve had an error of 1-3 ft**** I also did about a 350 mile break in on the new pads on the brembos and then a bed in as recomended by Raybestos.

results speak for themselves. The stock system performed ok on first and second stops and got progessively worse. The brembo equipped vehicle got better with every emergency stop. More results when the rear brembos arrive. You can interpret the results as you please.

 

yes sir...the rears went on. Look at the pics. I doubt you could install the fronts on the rears. They orient different.

 

The results with just the front on where impressive, did you see a change after adding the rear on
I may be mistaken but it says front only above the test results

 

yes...much more balanced...but didn't do any testing.

 

are 22" rims required for this mod?

I am looking at the R/T edition right now.

 

R/t wheels will not work. We know the 20-22" jeep gen 1 replicas work and the gen2 jeep oem wheels. Any aftermarket wheel for the 2012+ jeep srt will also work. None of the oem wheels frim the 11+ wk2 or wd will work.

Nice looking upgrade. Can you just upgrade to the brembo calipers without changing anything else?
Thanks.

Allan

 

no sir...rotors are required too

would love to do brembos in my 2014 r/t, but i really hate having to change wheels, i still have 2 sets of spare wheels from a previous car i traded in, and another set of spare wheels for other truck i keep around. I am scratching my head thinking about what to do with all these wheels hah.

sell them on craigslist...ebay etc.

will srt OE wheels fit the durango?

 

yes...same bolt patterns and offsets.


That grey durango of mine had 22" SRT replicas

 

Thanks Scott, i might very well be doing the brembo upgrade at some point, i'm just worried with all the replicas out there that say will NOT fit SRT vehicle.

Would anyone know if the TMPS modules from 2014 are the same as 2013?

 

thats the space i have on the 2014 R/T Polished with black pocket wheels

sure seems like a lot of space, then again, as mentioned everywhere, the SRT brembos are massive.

 

Its a combo of the massive 6 pistons and the even more massive 15.3" rotors. I remember when cars had 15" wheels.....LOL

 

wanted to say thanks for the guide! my buddy is ordering a brembo setup for me on monday, at some super awesome prices =)
2013 oem srt black chrome spider monkey on the way too.

 

congrats

Be sure to post lots of pics!

 

well this brake Setup fitt on the wk1?

 

If you have custom mounting brackets built

 

I've been thinking about doing this to our my14 overland. Scott, did I read correctly that the 20" stock my14 overland wheels dont fit? Do you have the part # required to use the MY14 SRT brakes?
Thanks.

 

part numbers?

For wheels we know for a FACT that OEM SRT wheels from 2006-2014 fit....also the gen 1 replicas in 20x9, 20x10, 22x9 and 22x10. Also any custom wheel that fits the 2012-14 Jeep SRT

 

have my calipers and hardware in, missing my sport rotors, and brake pads

went with hawk hps, brembo sport slotted (national backordered 3 months) !! but apparently the distributor i'm getting them from has priority, so i'm getting them late next week.

These calipers are MASSIVE!

I have a 2014 R/T with 400 miles, waiting to see how your Breombos go on and feel

 

those huge calipers are so nice and purdy I'll almost be reluctant to install mine on the truck when the time comes

If you think the calipers are big, wait till you get your hands on those rotors...they are huge...and HEAVY!!
