Charles is my Frist name. It is also the one on the
creidt card. and 224 was for two rotors and a set of
there 50-60 dollars brake pads and shipping.The
breakdown is below. The install was a breeze, they are
floating rotors so you do not have to pull the hubs
or anything. Would be about the same as chaning pads.
You pull the caliper off and the rotor is loose. Dodge
does not use a screw to hold the rotor to the hub. It
is simple and only take a hours or so. The only thing
you might need that is speical it the allen head to
pull the caliper and somthing to press the pistion
back into the caliper. BTW, I would make sure to
torque to wheels. when I pulled my wheels off the lug
nuts were on way to tight. I am not sure what the
torque is for the lugnuts. I put them at 90 Ft. LBS.
I need to by a factory book.
Thanks
Matt Tharp
