I think the GLH-T/SC/GLHS brakes are crap on my Rampage.. I went with factory mopar pads and they didn't help much.. Did you know that 2nd Gen Neon direct replacement rotors are the EXACT same as the stock turbo 5x100 L bodys? :) Hitup ebay for a set of cross drilled and slotted rotors and that mite help some.. I get really bad fade in the 95+mph area when really needing the brakes.. Pretty soon Franzen and the guys at boostedmopar.com will have finished figuring out a way to use the SRT brakes on the fronts (so far) :) couldn't hurt? :) I will more than likely go the route of disk on the rear of my page (1) for ease of operation and (2) appearance.. Gadda fill in the 17" wheels with something ;)

The minivan fronts don't get warm enough to actually reach operating temperature so the braking always feels pretty ineffective. This could be helped by changing pad compound, but that's a little difficult/expensive with the Minivan pads as you'd have to have a set re-lined. Plus the single pin minivan calipers aren't the best solution for track days as they are flexible, the phenolic pistons can break down under repeated abuse, the available pad compounds are pretty thin and they are pretty heavy. For most of the Rampage folks out there, I'd suggest sticking with the stock Turbo car brakes and leave it at that. If you're reaching 130 in the 1/4 and doing it a lot or if you're doing a lot of road race track days, then changing things further will help. Preferrably going to multi-piston units with adequate cooling ducts and maybe slotted rotors (not drilled, they tend to crack and reduce the surface area of the rotor) of course braided brake lines can help pedal feel.
