All calipers are aluminum construction and are the low-drag type. New-technology caliper construction allows minimal drag of the pads on the discs with low clearance to the rotors to maintain maximum pedal feel and responsiveness.

All calipers and adapter brackets are colored red. Phenolic pistons are used in the premium twin piston calipers (2). The premium twin caliper pistons have stainless steel caps for protection against damage due to contact with the brake pads. The rear calipers are similar to the ones used on the standard vehicle.

When the brake pads are replaced, only brake pads meeting the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) formulation (such as Mopar® replacement parts) should be used.

All brake rotors are fully coated with zinc dust, water-soluble, environmentally friendly corrosion preventive. Both the friction surfaces and the vents are coated. During initial brake applications of a new rotor, the brake pads scrub the coating off the friction surfaces, ensuring that the remainder will be rust free. Coating the vents also ensures that there will not be a loss of heat capacity over time.
