Hi! First post here so I hope I put it in the right part of the forum. I'm wondering what you guys have done to your brake setups for your AWD RTs. I want to upgrade but I don't fully understand how to work around the AWD system. Someone from another thread had mentioned going for the police B8 calipers. They offered up this parts list -

Fluid:
Motul RBF 660 Factory Line Dot-4 - 847205

Brake Lines Front & Rear:
Russell Steel Braided Brake Line Kit - 694060

Front:
345mm Hawk Sector 27 Drilled & Slotted Rotors - HR4232
HP Plus Pads - HB509N.678

Rear:
BR8 police package caliper brackets - 68166717AA x2
350mm Hawk Sector 27 Drilled & Slotted Rotors - HR4238
HPS Pads (couldn't find any HP Plus pads that listed rear fitment for my car) - HB508F.675

Has anyone gone this route? Is it worthwhile? Is the install terribly difficult? Someone else mentioned Power Stop has kits for the AWD but there wasn't very much input about it. I'm pretty new to modifying cars so I'll take whatever advice you guys can throw my way. Thanks!

I went with the Powerstop Geomet coated rotors & pads package on my RWD but they make a kit for AWD too.
No rust even after the Ida flooding.
IMO no reason to tear apart the system to 'upgrade' if it's a daily driver, just use good components. Also had the system bled & refilled with synthetic fluid with the brake job.

I used Rockauto.com
Just input your car info and choose the right components.
