The black 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 we had in the STILLEN Performance Shop just a few weeks ago is back for a little upgrade. Seems like the Vortech Supercharger and Centerforce Clutch we installed is generating a little too much power for the suspension and brakes to handle.
The owner opted for a set of Eibach Multi-Pro R1 Coilovers and Eibach front and rear sway bars to tighten up the suspension.
After the Dodge Challenger SRT8’s upgraded Eibach suspension was in, It was time for the computer alignment and corner balancing final touches.
After the techs improved the cars ability to handle the twists and turns, it was time to improve the cars ability to handle the increased power. To achieve this the guys installed a set of DBA 4000 Series Drilled and Slotted Rotors paired with a set of Hawk Brake Pads and Goodridge Brake Lines for fade resistance and improved stopping power.

read your article challenger srt8 s.c. suspension upgrade..why replace the rotors with same size?? one person asked and he was told there better because the metal is better!,, these rotors don’t fall apart!,, they don’t over-heat!,,, so what justifies the extra coin???
thank you
great car—sweet
Thank you for your great question!
Ideally, we like to go with a larger rotor (both in diameter and rotor thickness) and larger brake caliper for the same reasons you pointed out. However, in this case, the customer wanted to go with a high performance rotor that uses performance oriented iron. This type of iron is able to withstand higher temperatures. The rotors were also finished to allow for optimal cooling and performance for a rotor of its size and in this environment. It’s a good option if you want to get some extra stopping capability, without the big brake kit cost.
