OEM 4-Piston Brembo Ceramic Front Pads for the Classic Mopar SRT8 Platform
The Rotora RP.11490.1 H2 Ceramic front brake pad is a direct-fit OEM caliper replacement designed for the 4-piston Brembo front calipers fitted to the Dodge Challenger SRT8, Dodge Charger SRT8, Dodge Magnum SRT8, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. The H2 Ceramic is Rotora's reformulated street compound, delivering low dust, low noise, and confident initial bite across all driving conditions. For SRT8 owners looking for a clean, quiet daily-driver upgrade that maintains the brake authority these platforms demand, the RP.11490.1 is the correct front pad selection. The direct-fit design requires no brackets, adapters, or caliper modification, and every unit is built using the same material standards as Rotora's full brake kit program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Rotora RP.11490.1 fit?The RP.11490.1 fits the 2008 to 2014 Dodge Challenger SRT8, the 2006 to 2014 Dodge Charger SRT8, the 2006 to 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8, and the 2006 to 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. All of these vehicles share the 4-piston Brembo OEM front caliper that the RP.11490.1 is designed for.
Is the 4-piston SRT8 caliper the same as the 6-piston SRT caliper on the 2015 Challenger?No. The 2015 and later Challenger, Charger, and Grand Cherokee SRT models received a larger 6-piston Brembo front caliper. The RP.11490.1 is designed specifically for the 4-piston caliper used through 2014 on Challenger SRT8 and through 2010 on Grand Cherokee SRT8. The 2015-plus models require the RP.14051 series pads.
Does the RP.11490.1 fit the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8?The 2011 to 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT8 (WK2 platform) uses a different caliper than the earlier 2006 to 2010 WK1 Grand Cherokee SRT8. The RP.11490.1 is confirmed for the 2006 to 2010 WK1 Grand Cherokee SRT8 with the 4-piston Brembo front caliper. If your Grand Cherokee is a 2011 to 2021 SRT or SRT8, please verify your caliper type, as those model years may use a different pad specification.
Is bedding-in required?Yes. Perform 8 to 10 moderate stops from 60 mph down to 10 mph with full cooling intervals between each pass, followed by 4 to 6 progressively firmer stops. Allow a complete cool-down before normal driving. Proper bedding ensures an even transfer film on the rotor and maximizes the performance of the H2 Ceramic compound.
Will the H2 reduce wheel dust on my SRT8?Yes. Switching to the H2 Ceramic from the OEM semi-metallic pads will noticeably reduce brake dust accumulation on wheels. This is one of the most commonly noted improvements after installing Rotora H2 pads on the Mopar SRT8 platform.
Does the Dodge Magnum SRT8 use the same front caliper as the Charger SRT8?Yes. The 2006 to 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8 and the 2006 to 2014 Dodge Charger SRT8 share the same 4-piston Brembo front caliper platform, making the RP.11490.1 a direct-fit front pad for both models.
Can I use the RP.11490.1 for light track days on my Challenger SRT8?The H2 Ceramic is optimized for street use up to 400 C. For HPDE or track days where sustained heavy braking is involved, the H6 (RP.11490.2) or H8 (RP.11490.3) compound is a more appropriate choice with higher temperature ceilings.
Is the RP.11490.1 compatible with factory SRT8 rotors?Yes. The RP.11490.1 is designed for use with the factory rotor setup on SRT8 platforms. Inspect rotor thickness and surface condition before fitting new pads, and replace any rotor that has reached minimum thickness or shows significant heat cracking.
Installation Instructions
- Safely lift and support the vehicle on jack stands and remove the front wheels.
- Remove the caliper retaining bolts and carefully slide the caliper off the rotor. Suspend with a wire hook to avoid stress on the brake hose.
- Remove the old pads and all hardware clips or shims from the caliper bracket.
- Clean all bracket contact surfaces and sliding pins with brake cleaner.
- Using a C-clamp or piston retraction tool, carefully compress all four caliper pistons evenly back into the bore.
- Install the new RP.11490.1 pads into the bracket, ensuring all clips are fully seated.
- Reinstall the caliper and torque all bolts to factory specification.
- Reinstall the wheel and torque lug nuts to specification.
- Pump the brake pedal firmly until full pedal feel is restored before moving the vehicle.
- Top off brake fluid as needed and perform the recommended bedding procedure before normal use.
