I worked on a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 last week ago at the gas station for the front brake job. The RO invoice paper states "CUSTOMER REQUEST FRONT BRAKE ROTORS/PADS". Here is a nice detail of a 2008 Jeep
G-Cherokee SRT-8:
-Hemi 6.1L V8, handsome aluminum intake manifold, Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), 8 plug coils (twin plugs in one coil), 2- TWC (three way catalytic
converter) and 4 HO2S
-20 inch rims, real heavy wheel
-Front Brembo disc brake calipers, very lightest aluminum caliper, weight about 2 LBS.
-Big front rotors, size 14 inches diameter and 1.250 (1 1/4) thickness, found heavy scored on the surfaces of the rotors similar to MBZs/BMWs, replaced 2 new rotors/pads
-Blilstein struts on 4 corners, handsome AWD with aluminum front knuckles, front CV shafts
-4 link rear suspension with a long panhard link and aluminum driveshaft
- Easy access to serpentine belt under the vehicle better than remove air duct and fan shroud on the top
After the front brake job, I took it for road test. I cant believe that the 6.1 motor produces a lot of torque on the straight road, didnt rev up over 2500 RPM. The power and ride/handle charcartic that I describe it as a Vette, The
brake performance is incredible as the BMWs. I love it but I dislike ETC and AWD. I want to add this high performance Grand Cherokee SRT8 to my Xmas wish list. Hey the gas is horrible?? Not bother me.
