Dodge Charger Brakes Specifications
The Charger lineup uses high-performance brake hardware across the board — even base R/T variants get substantial discs. Scat Pack and Scat Pack Plus add Brembo high-performance brakes with red calipers. Our certified Mopar service team handles routine brake service plus performance brake hardware on SRT-class vehicles.
| Trim | Front Brakes | Rear Brakes | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charger R/T / R/T Plus | 13.6-inch vented disc with 4-piston caliper | 12.6-inch vented disc | Performance-grade brake package |
| Charger Scat Pack / Scat Pack Plus | 15.4-inch Brembo 6-piston with red caliper | 13.8-inch vented disc with Brembo | Brembo high-performance brakes designed for track use |
| Charger Daytona EV (regen + friction) | Same as R/T or Scat Pack depending on trim | Same with regenerative braking integration | Brake-by-wire system blends regen and friction; regen significantly extends pad life |

Brake Care Tips for Your Dodge Charger
- Brembo brakes on Scat Pack variants use specific high-performance pads — only use OEM-spec replacements.
- Track days require dedicated brake fluid (DOT 4 or DOT 5.1) and pad inspection after every event.
- Charger Daytona EV regenerative braking extends pad life significantly — many EV owners go 60,000+ miles on a set.
- Listen for grinding or vibration under braking — these signal urgent attention on a high-performance car.
- Brake fluid should be flushed every 2 years on Scat Pack/SRT vehicles (vs. 3 years on standard Chargers).
What's Included in Every Brakes at Mahon CDJR
Every brake service at Mahon CDJR includes a free brake inspection by Mopar-certified technicians. We measure pad thickness, check rotor surface and thickness, inspect calipers and hoses, and test the parking brake. When service is needed we use OEM-spec Mopar pads and rotors matched to your Dodge Charger trim.
Note on Pricing: Brake service pricing depends on whether you need pads, rotors, calipers, or fluid service — and on the specific Dodge Charger trim. Brembo-equipped trims command premium pricing. Call (828) 492-2121 for a free brake inspection and estimate.
