Hi Shawn,
How much of the cheap material do we need to replace? Just rotor and brake
pads? What about the rear brakes? Drums and pads? What about other parts
within the brake system(s)? TIA

Get this...My old man is a senior engineer at Chrysler and he works closely
with people in the brake labs. The engineers say "That all Chrysler brakes
are prone to problems because they use cheap material." Kinda gives you
that warm fuzzy feeling!!! ha!
