Was there only one dia. of disc brakes offered for a 71 Charger or was there a larger dia. disc on like a Super Bee or R/T?
Thanks

there was only one, part #5306 from autozone.  all engine combinations did not show any difference.  I believe the suspension package (not rotors) is what differentiated certain cars from each other.

the 11" rotors came on c bodies and are often transplanted onto b bodies for better stopping power.  but with larger rotors comes the need for rims that will fit them. 14" rims cannot fit on cars equipped with 11" rotors.

11" rotor from a dodge monaco, part #5307:

My 73 Hardtop has the 10.87 rotor and my kid's  73 340 Rallye has the 11.78 rotor. I don't know about the 71.

the 71/72 and 73 and UP have different rotors due to wheel bearing size.  The 11.78 rotors are something you can add on, but they did not come from the factory on any71-74 dodge charger, as far as I know.  71/72's took A2 and A6 front wheel bearings and 73/74's took A2 and A17 front wheel bearings.
