Overview
The Baer Brakes D1149 is a front ceramic brake pad set for the SRT8 versions of the Chrysler 300C, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The set comes as 4 pads for one front axle, and the listed model years run from 2005 through 2014.
These performance pads use a premium high friction ceramic compound for long pad life and low rotor wear, with minimal noise and dust. Abutment clips and mounting hardware come with the set, and each pad has a wear indicator attached. The pads balance braking performance with comfort for daily driving.
Key features
- Premium high friction ceramic compound
- OE-replacement pads with consistent wear and performance
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware included with most pads
- Mounting hardware included
- Wear indicator attached
- Slotted pad face
- Balance of braking performance and road-going civility
Break-in and daily driving
Ceramic pads need a short break-in so the pad material transfers evenly onto the rotor. Make several moderate stops in a clear area, then allow the brakes to cool before any hard stops. This helps the pads settle in without glazing.
On performance sedans and SUVs, brake heat builds quickly, so ceramic compounds help keep braking predictable through normal driving. Dust stays low, but the wheels still collect some pad residue, so clean them with a non-acidic wheel cleaner.
Mounting hardware and abutment clips should be cleaned and checked during the pad change. Replace any that are corroded or worn so the pads move freely. Brake fluid and rotor condition matter for the same reason.
- Inspect rotors for heat marks
- Use the brake fluid type the vehicle requires
- Check the wear indicator at each service

Installation notes
Mounting hardware is included with this set, but brake lubricant is not. Make several moderate stops in a clear area before hard braking, so the new ceramic pads can settle in against the rotors.
