    Swapping to brembos is a pain in the arse.  It isn't worth it when you can upgrade your stock brakes to be just as good as stock brembos.

    The swap you need spindles, control arms ( i believe), brackets, calipers, etc...

    nope, gotta change out everything.  Best to just upgrade what you got.

    if your looking at factory stuff I would look at the calipers that they are using on the track pack upgrade on the new challengers. the pads will be lots cheaper the brembo pads are $300.00 a set  :faint:

    I've heard that police package Chargers have better front brakes, and are NON-Brembo.  It could just be the pads though.
