Benefits of Aftermarket Dodge Charger Brake Pads and Rotors
Unfortunately, your OEM Dodge Charger brakes and rotors likely aren't enough to meet your performance goals, so you'll need pads, and sometimes even calipers. The benefits of choosing aftermarket kits from brands like PowerStop are that many brake options come with drilled-and-slotted rotors for better brake cooling and stopping power, specialized coatings that resist corrosion, and pads that have multiple layers of ceramic that can withstand a lot of heat.Aftermarket and performance Dodge Charger brakes and rotors can also improve the way your vehicle looks. If you just got a new set of AMR wheels and NITTO tires, for example, it's not a bad idea to slot race-red calipers and shiny drilled-and-slotted rotors behind them.
Front Vs Rear Dodge Charger Brake Pads and Rotors
When it comes to the front and rear of your vehicle the location of the axle has a lot to do with the brakes you need. This is because the front of your vehicle handles up to 80% of the stopping power necessary to slow your Charger down. For this reason, you don't need to have the same exact brake system on the rear axle because it may be overkill. In fact, you should always prioritize your front brakes when possible.For example, a PowerStop brake kit that comes with zinc-plated drilled and slotted rotors all around the vehicle may still use dual-piston front calipers and single-piston rear calipers. This helps you enjoy premium brake rotors, calipers, and pads without breaking the bank.
What's more, you can also opt for simpler rear rotor designs if you want to get the best possible Dodge Charger brake rotors in the front and a more OEM-style replacement in the rear. In fact, brands like PowerStop offer suitable OE replacement options that go above manufacturer specs with enhanced coatings, better material, and ceramic pads with stainless steel hardware.

Plus, our sales techs will always point you in the right direction if you have any more questions. That said, the biggest factors to consider are how you plan on driving your Charger and the axle you need pads and rotors for.If you want to hit the track, you'll want to look for kits that offer the best zinc-plated drilled-and-slotted rotors, pads, and calipers for all four wheels. On the other hand, if you just do some spirited driving from time to time a set of good brakes on the front and OEM-style replacements on the rear are more than fine.
