Finding confilicting sizes 302mm and 262 I think. Which one is on the 2011 limited. was there two sizes available. Have to change fronts so was thinking doing all 4 in drilled with ceramic pads. Any thoughts on that. Good or bad.

I have another post about this but the smaller rotors are the ones on the car. At least mine and all i have talked to. I have drilled rotors with carbon ceramic pads and hate the pads. Regular factory ads or ebc would be my recommendation. Will say one thing, i did all four rotors and pads in less than an hour. Very easy to do.

I think I remember your thread vaguely.... Not sure if you covered if the caliper brackets and calipers were the same between both sizes of rotors or not. Can you please remind me?

There are old posts on this forum about the brakes by a few of us. Odds are you have the 262mm rotors which use a 1037 brake pad number in the after market. If you have the 302mm rotors, which I doubt the pad number is 868. Get you OEM rotor number from you dealer and your local independent jobber can cross it over to an after market part number. Buy better than OE, you won't regret it. As for cross drilled rotors I don't recommended for an every day driver in the snow belt. Dimpled and or slotted would be better. I have used all types of rotors on various vehicles in all types of weather under all types of conditions and there are pros and cons to all. Of course replacement better than OEM will give noticeable result to the plus.
The calipers for the 262mm rotors and 302mm rotors are not the same.

Thanks Red, I appreciate the info. This might be a way to upgrade braking slightly. When the time comes to replace the 262mm rotors, invest in the caliper and brackets at the same time and go for the 302 mm setup. Any idea if there are any clearance issues with a 17" wheel?

 

[REDS200]

Gooch..no problem with 17" wheels. I do not know if the uprights are the same for the different calipers. Wheel bearings and hoses are the same. I plan on checking this further and will post. These applications also go back to the Sebring. I need to get OEM part numbers for dust shields and any other mounting brackets or hardware that would be involved in the swap. A problem that arises with aftermarket look up is that what the manufacturer shows might only be what they offer in the market. There may be other variations at the OEM level.

If you go here...http://www.factorychryslerparts.com...ake=1061&ukey_model=15459&ukey_category=20302
they list 2 different brake options.
The one marked [BRF] is the 262mm size http://www.autopartoo.com/oem/dodge/05105515aa.html
The other ones [BR1], [BRG], etc. are the 302mm parts http://www.autopartoo.com/oem/jeep/04743999aa.html
They also list the 2 different caliper brackets, calipers and pads

 

[nlitend1]

Untouchable why do you not like the ceramic pads. All the kits I've seen list ceramic only as the option.

 

[untouchable4206]

Mine were, just replaced today, carbon ceramic pads. Basically race pads. They barely stopped unless the pad was really hot. Not good for the street. I went with regular ceramic pads and they work very good now.

Ok thanks for the reply, going to order the set soon.

I intensely studied the different rotor/caliper/adapter/pad variations for the BRF (my car) and BR1 (larger everything). I was wondering if any one who has the knowledge, could say if there is also two different master cylinder and reservoir parts, because I am attempting to configure a custom large rotor and caliper setup, that may benefit from any larger capacity master cylinder to handle the larger pistons.

 

[carguy1985]

Im not a big big fan of slotted and drill unless you are doing some serious auto cross racing. the tend to eat up the pad and make tons of brake dust. They also tend to make noise while braking.

Its a nice look no doubt but a nice set of vented rotors will be sufficient for what the cars can do.

The convertible 200 takes the larger rotor while the other 200s take the smaller rotor.

The caliper and caliper bracket us exactly what will need changed if you were to get the wrong size rotors your caliper won't fit
