Re: [Chrysler300] Front brakes

You are correct , AAJ has a kit with 11 3/4 rotors . Requires 15 “ wheels . The smaller rotor does not cut it for  me ; works great daily driving but emergency stop not so great, compared to later cars . Wheel aspect complicates  all this .

The disc brake kit for the G (standard 15" wheels) uses a larger rotor than the kit for a C (14" wheels).  If you're going to go up to 15" wheels on your C, you could use the G kit to get bigger rotors, but then you can't go back to the 14" wheels.

Hi ,
I know this has gone around a few times , but wondering on paper if anyone has put larger brakes than the AAJ kit ( which I —And many others — have used) on an F , orG/H , which might be allowed by going larger than 14” wheels — on say 57-60 ?
16 “ not out of question if larger discs might fit somehow .?
While the AAJ kit works fine , the stopping ability in terms of deceleration is about the same as the 300 drums imho , ( the first stop) but probably a lot less hassle to most daily drivers . So great for what it is.
But if you drive a recent car , it is another whole world . A friend has a magnum RT wagon , discs must be 14” across . It really stops . 300 were great in the day — but much better out there now .
Thoughts welcome .
Prompted too by a rear end crash in my dart , I almost escaped , by a foot or so — while literally standing on brake pedal .= 9 or 10” drums don’t cut it either .
Watch out for 17 yo kids suddenly making left turns on undivided 4 lanes , a car ahead , guy / girl in front of you messing with cell . It can happen to you .
