Street-to-Track Performance for the Original Mopar SRT8 4-Piston Brembo Platform
The Rotora RP.11490.2 H6 Graphite Metallic front brake pad delivers consistent all-around street and track braking performance for the 4-piston Brembo OEM front calipers found on the Dodge Challenger SRT8, Dodge Charger SRT8, Dodge Magnum SRT8, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. With a temperature ceiling of 500 C and a friction coefficient of 0.32 to 0.45, the H6 Graphite Metallic compound covers daily street driving through spirited canyon runs and HPDE events without requiring a compound change. The RP.11490.2 is a direct-fit OEM caliper replacement requiring no brackets or modifications, and it is formulated using the same ceramic-carbon graphite metallic material standards applied to Rotora's full big brake kit program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Rotora RP.11490.2 fit?The RP.11490.2 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.11490.2 is designed for.
Is the H6 suitable for HPDE track days on a Challenger SRT8?Yes. The H6 Graphite Metallic operates up to 500 C and maintains a consistent friction coefficient throughout its range, making it well-suited for HPDE sessions and autocross events. For full sprint race use with repeated high-speed braking, the H8 (RP.11490.3) compound offers a higher thermal ceiling.
Is the 4-piston SRT8 caliper the same as the 6-piston SRT caliper on 2015-plus models?No. The 2015 and later Challenger, Charger, and Grand Cherokee SRT models use a larger 6-piston Brembo front caliper. The RP.11490.2 is designed for the 4-piston caliper used through 2014 on the Challenger SRT8 and through 2010 on the Grand Cherokee SRT8. The 2015-plus models require RP.14051 series pads.
Does the Dodge Magnum SRT8 use the same 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, making the RP.11490.2 a direct fit for both models.
Will H6 pads generate more wheel dust than the H2 Ceramic?Yes. Graphite metallic compounds produce more dust than ceramic formulas due to their metallic content. The H6 will generate more wheel dust than the RP.11490.1 H2, but the trade-off is a significantly higher temperature ceiling and better bite under performance driving conditions.
Is bedding-in required?Yes. Perform 8 to 10 moderate stops from 60 mph to 10 mph with adequate cooling between each pass, followed by 4 to 6 progressively firmer stops. Allow a full cool-down before normal driving. Bedding transfers an even friction film to the rotor surface and unlocks the full performance range of the H6 compound.
Can I run the RP.11490.2 with the factory SRT8 rotors?Yes. The RP.11490.2 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 damage.
Does this pad fit the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8?Yes. The 2006 to 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 uses the 4-piston Brembo front caliper that the RP.11490.2 is designed for, making it a confirmed direct fit for all years in that range including 2006.
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.11490.2 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.
