Operating across a temperature range of 0 to 800 C with a friction coefficient of 0.43 to 0.58, the H8 delivers exceptional thermal stability, fade resistance, and consistent pedal feel under sustained high-temperature braking loads. The direct-fit design requires no brackets, spacers, or caliper modifications, and every unit is built to the same compound material standards as Rotora's full big brake kit program. For SRT8 owners who take their vehicles to HPDE events, autocross, or sprint races and need a pad that can handle repeated hard stops without fade, the RP.11490.3 is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH8 Graphite Metallic compound — track and sprint race specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc temperature range: 0 to 800 C \/ 0 to 1472 F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage coefficient of friction: 0.43 to 0.58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional fade resistance and thermal stability under sustained braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect fit for the 4-piston Brembo OEM front caliper on the Mopar SRT8 platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-asbestos ceramic-carbon-reinforced graphite metallic formula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfident, consistent pedal feel at elevated operating temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo caliper modification, bracket, or spacer required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotora factory quality standards throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2008-2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChallenger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006-2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006-2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006-2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrand Cherokee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRP.11490.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraphite Metallic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrack \/ Race\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAxle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaliper Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-Piston Brembo OEM (SRT8 Platform)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisc Temp Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 800 C \/ 0 to 1472 F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvg Coefficient of Friction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.43 to 0.58\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Asbestos Ceramic-Carbon Graphite Metallic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Set (Full Front Axle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotora\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 complete front axle set of Rotora RP.11490.3 H8 Graphite Metallic brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotora pad hardware kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Rotora\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRotora manufactures high-performance brake systems and pad compounds used by professional racing programs and track-day enthusiasts worldwide. The H8 Graphite Metallic is Rotora's premier track-race compound for OEM-caliper applications, engineered to deliver wide thermal capacity and stable friction behavior across extended high-performance sessions. Every Rotora pad is developed using the same material standards as its full big brake kit program, giving RP.11490.3 customers genuine race-grade braking without replacing their factory 4-piston calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat vehicles does the Rotora RP.11490.3 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP.11490.3 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 use the 4-piston Brembo OEM front caliper that the RP.11490.3 is designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the H8 differ from the H6 for track use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H8 has a higher temperature ceiling of 800 C versus 500 C for H6, and a higher average friction coefficient of 0.43 to 0.58 versus 0.32 to 0.45 for H6. The H8 is the correct choice when brake temperatures regularly exceed what the H6 can handle, such as during HPDE sessions with long straight-line braking zones or repeated sprint race starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the H8 on the street as well as the track?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The H8 starts operating from 0 C and can be driven on the street, though it will produce more noise and dust than a street ceramic pad at cold temperatures. Many SRT8 track-day owners daily-drive their vehicles on H8 pads without significant problems, though the H6 is a better choice if the car sees mostly street miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 4-piston SRT8 caliper the same as the 6-piston SRT caliper on 2015-plus models?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 2015 and later Challenger, Charger, and Grand Cherokee SRT models received a larger 6-piston Brembo front caliper. The RP.11490.3 is designed for the 4-piston caliper used through 2014 on the Challenger SRT8 and through 2010 on the Grand Cherokee SRT8. For 2015-plus models, use the RP.14051 series pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Dodge Magnum SRT8 use the same caliper as the Charger SRT8?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.11490.3 a confirmed direct fit for both models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs bedding-in required for the RP.11490.3?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Perform 8 to 10 progressive stops from 60 mph to 10 mph with adequate cooling between passes, followed by 4 to 6 progressively harder stops. Allow a full cool-down before track use. Proper bedding ensures an even transfer film on the rotor and allows the H8 compound to reach its full friction potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill H8 pads cause faster rotor wear than H6?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH8 compounds are harder on rotors than H6 under high-temperature conditions, which is a normal trade-off for the higher thermal capacity and friction coefficient. Inspect rotor thickness more frequently during track use and replace any rotor that has reached its minimum thickness limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the RP.11490.3 fit the 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 2006 to 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 uses the 4-piston Brembo front caliper that the RP.11490.3 is designed for, making it a confirmed direct fit for the 2010 model year as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely lift and support the vehicle on jack stands and remove the front wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the caliper retaining bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor.
