I've been looking at trying to get a set of BR9 spec brakes for my 07RT while it's parked for the fall/ winter. If anyone has done this to their magnum Id greatly appreciate a parts list needed to get this done.
If this is the police package....
All that's needed are set rear rotors and the caliper brackets. The rear brake calipers mount to the bigger/slightly longer caliper brackets. (Pulls the caliper further away from the wheel center line).
Beware if your running 17" wheels/drag pak type setup, this will not clear the wheels. You'll need 18"+ wheels to clear these slightly bigger brakes. (Ask me how I know...lol).
I have no idea what hes talking about here. I have not done an SRT car so maybe neither do I. But the BR9 has the same swept area the Brembo 4 piston setups do and is a significant upgrade from the BR5.All that's needed are set rear rotors and the caliper brackets.
I put srt spec rear rotors on my 2005 rt car with the police package rear caliper brackets, and reused my original caliper. It all bolted up and worked like it should.I did leave out I had to go from 17" wheels to 20".

100% agreed in terms of the performance difference between the 4 and 6 piston Brembos - they are designed for a track driven car, not street driven and especially not for a car used mostly for drag racing. They are capable of braking performance beyond what you'll ever reasonably use on the street, unless you are driving in ways most of us should (hopefully!) agree you should not be doing on the street. 60-0 in a claimed 107 feet for my portly ~4300lb (or ~4500lb with me in it) Charger is pretty impressive.Anyone who converts to 6 pistons on a daily driver has more money than brains. They are overkill on a street car. The testing shows a 2' difference in stopping from 60-0. That's not taking weight and rubber compounds into account either.
On a dedicated road race car, I'm sure there's a difference in how they handle the consistent heat. Absolute overkill on a daily driver or a Drag car.
For all of the info in that chart, one mistake isn't bad especially if AI was used to compile it. Any AI summaries should be "assumed wrong in some way until proven otherwise", at least so far. I still see way to many "confidently wrong" errors to trust it blindly yet, but it is handy for pulling together summaries and giving you links to read through.That chart is nice but he has the BR9 rear caliper as a dual piston. I would like a full size copy of that.
Yes that was the Big Brake Kit, and for that money it cost $700.00 with Rotors. Parts for for BR9 were hard to find then. They seem to be more available now.I've been trying to sell a complete BR9 conversion, minus rotors and pads.
The police calipers are physically bigger than civilian - to put pads outside thicker rotors.
I've got the brackets, rebuilt and powder coated calipers, front dust plates new, lines.
Mopar was selling this kit, minus powder coated, for ~$700 years ago.
I want $600 picked up in Winsted CT 06098
Shipping cost would be ridiculous.
Good luck 👍
