Dr. Diff has some decent stuff and stands behind what he sells.
 
Thanks for the pics, I suggest you to introduce yourself and your project in the welcome wagon, a lot of guys will watch you there and is a good start point for your questions, btw do you have the fender tag?

Will do :) and yes i have the fender tag i just need to find it in the box, i took it off while painting the car
 
What are you looking for, stock replacement, aftermarket big brakes?
No, im looking for a new brake system. The stock brake has less safety features comparing with the newer brakes (depends on what kind) if you know what i mean.
 
It looked pretty bada$$ in it's patina...good luck w the rest of the build
 
gotta love the general lee, looks good, and whatever you do don't lose that fender tag.

Check out a user named "invincibleextremes" on dodgecharger.com. He makes caliper brackets for different setups. Not sure on the pricing, but they are very affordable. I used 2014 Mustang GT calipers and 13" rotors on the front and 2014 Mustang GT calipers and 12" discs on the rear. I bought OEM takeoffs from ebay for around $150 per set. I was able to easily piece together a 4 wheel disc setup with hydroboost for around $700-$800.

Wow this actually looks great. 700-800$ pretty good to be honest. My budget for the brake kit is about 2000$ max

Thanks for sharing i will differently check them.
 
Good start there! I did the same as above, went with caliper brackets and Mustang Brembo brakes.
I used to live in Dubai, still miss that place..
 
Quick update:
Installed the brake kit front/rear + the QA1 suspension for both front/rear
