I have some 40mm non-ABS rear calipers available for $630 a pair plus your old cores. These calipers are re-sized OEM 36mm calipers that give you more rear braking for much better front to rear braking balance, helps prevent front tire flat spots, allows greater brake feel, and is 100% compatible with factory pads, uprights, brake lines, wheels, etc.
Some flattering comments from others on the board about these brakes are here. The link also has further links to past posts for even more information.
If you want a quick one-pager info sheet, PM or email me. If you want the 1Mb rebuild instructions to see the guts of what this is, also let me know. The Wizard recently commented that new rear calipers are scarce, so folks might want this how-to picture guide in case you have to rebuild the brakes - the brakes are "not serviceable" according to Dodge so it's not described in the service manual. I can also guide you as to where to get parts you may need.
Advance notice: The normal process is an exchange deal; I first send you calipers that have been re-sized to 40mm and you return your old OEM calipers. Some of you have expressed that you'd like your original calipers redone, but then it's a roughly 4 week wait (shipping to me, machine shop and rebuild, and return shipping.) With the winter coming up and cars hibernating, a few have suggested sending the calipers to me when the car is put away - excellent idea. So it's the First Annual 40mm Group Buy; I'll plan a time (say mid-January) for everyone to send their calipers in and you will get your same calipers back. There might be some economy of scale at the shop; depending on how pristine the calipers are, there might also be some parts that don't need replacing. I have a few interested already, so I'm going to pursue it- let me know if you are interested, too. Thanks.
