[flyinbrian]

who's running viper brakes front an rear ?, is it worth it  how is it .ect or would anyone suggest something else im open to suggestions  thank you.

I'm using Viper calipers on the front. The positives to me are better pad compound selection, It's a Mopar part, made for street driving. Are they better than stock? All I know is they don't fade like my stock ones did.

Brad, where did you score your calipers if you don't mind my asking? Price? Thx. Ian

I got them from a friend that rebuilt a wrecked Viper. These were spares he had. Paid $250 I think for them.  There are a few Viper dismantlers on e-bay , viperpaul X2 builders are a couple that are always on there selling?

The Viper kits out there are front calipers only. They are not a complete Viper swap and they are not available for the rear. The front rotors can be either the mid 70s factory 11.75" or a later model aftermarket 14".

What the conversion will gain you is a few pounds off each front corner, better ability to modulate brake pressure at speed, and, Like Brads70 pointed out, a greater range of pad selection to better match your driving style.
