DODGE CHALLENGER

BRAKE REPAIR

The Dodge Challenger's brake system varies by trim, offering a range of performance and features. Standard systems include sport brakes with 12.6-inch front rotors on the SXT, while GT and R/T models often feature larger 13.6-inch front rotors with performance brake linings. High-performance trims like the SRT Hellcat and Scat Pack utilize Brembo brakes, with options for four-piston or six-piston calipers and larger rotors. Brake components include rotors, pads, calipers, and a master cylinder, with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) ensuring optimal traction.
