Greetings everyone. This is my first post on this forum, but I have long followed it and relied upon it for information.
What I am looking for, is an exact description of what the difference is between the front brakes of a Jeep SRT8, and the front brakes on a Jeep trackhawk. I know that the trackhawk takes a 20 mm larger rotor, and that that additional diameter is taken up an actual swept area of the rotor. This means that the trackhawk takes a slightly larger pad. The pad, from what I understand, is taller in order to accommodate the larger swept area. Hence why some people say that standard SRT front brake pads can be used. However they would not be in contact with the entire surface of the rotor.
My specific question is this... What is the exact difference that accommodates the larger rotor? Are the mounting tabs on the steering Hub and knuckle actually taller by 10 mm? Or is it that the mounting tabs on the trackhawk calipers are actually 10 mm longer? In other words, if I were to transplant trackhawk front brembo's onto a wk2 SRT Jeep, would I need the larger rotor also? Or would the caliper be sitting lower, because the Hub is what makes up the difference, and an SRT sized rotor would work, along with SRT pads?
Thank you very much in advance for any information. I appreciate your time.
