Who's running this, in what environment and what pads are you running? Are you satisfied? The new kit with the c body rotor is a nice touch.

I am , with the C-Body rotor and spindle. I'm using EBC yellow pads. They work ok on the street better when they get warm/hot.

I'm running it with Hawk HT-10's on the front and the Cobra kit with Hawk Blue's in the rear.

I've had no problems, but the HT-10's are very aggressive for the street and dust like crazy.

You need a pad for any viper up to 2002.

As long as we're talking about pads, for the street, I like the Ferodo HP1000 compound found in the 'brembo' pads that are factory for the 96-2008 viper, CTS-V, SS Camaro, exotics, etc. These are dusty, but quiet and stop great. Good through mild track days.

IMO, if you're running a viper caliper, you'd do well to buy the mopar pads (brembo pad, HP1000).

Raybestos ST-47 in the front for heavy track use.

When I ran Viper calipers I had the best luck with stock pads bought from the local Dodge dealer.

I use them with EBC reds. Some dust, but not too much.

The R4-S is a street pad and not comparable to the HT-10, which is a track pad (even though I drive them on the street).

Hawk's or Porterfields?

I have never had good luck with Porterfields. I've tried a couple compounds and have just hated them. I had one set disintegrate at the first track day and ended up driving home using the e-brake.

Porterfields. The EBC yellows while they stop ok cold they work much better hot. Dust is OK with them though I find? Just looking ( if it exists?) for something that works well both hot and cold? Autox and street duty using manual brakes, maybe step up to hydroboost at some point?

I don't like the Hawk HPS, worthless at the track in my opinion.

I did have a set of EBC Blue on my Challenger that I liked. They were fine on the street, worked well at the track and lasted quite some time. Probably put a couple track days and 10k street miles on them before I sold the car.

My Satellite has manual brakes and it works fine with the aggressive pads. I don't see any reason to put hydroboost on a car.

I run HPS's around for the street and EBC Yellow for the track along with Hydraboost. All good here.

If you are going to track the car, then just get something that fits your budget.

Thanks for the replies, do you run the EBC yellow on the back too?

Nope. I keep the HPS's on the back, as I dial a bunch of rear brake out of the car anyway. Either way, they hold up fine for me.

Thanks! I have what ever Cass supplied for rear pads and they seem fine and I haven't had any lock up issues in the rear.
