What’s the availability on the Viper rotor?:
-Used only?
-Can you buy new or used without a core? Typical Price?
-what is typical rim diameter needed? That is a Baer rotor. The Viper calipers are available new from any Dodge dealer. I just bought a set of them for my car. They were $481 each at my local dealer. Not sure how much longer they'll be available but no problem buying them at the moment.

What kind of braking force improvement can you expect with this as compared to a 2.75" single piston caliper with a 12" Cordoba rotor ? I don't know but I suppose there is a reason the Mopar engineers didn't use the Cordoba rotors on the Viper.

That 2 piece 13" Baer rotor will interchange with the 1 piece Mercedes rotor supplied with my Stage 4 front brake kit.
Matching 2 piece 11.7" rotors are also available for my 11.7" rear brake kits. Cass does your 2 piece 13" Baer and 11.7" rotors come with solid discs without any holes? If so, then I need a set! Thanks!

And they fit large bearing spindles (Willwood doesn’t have a kit for that). I perfer the idea of a production caliper. I’m going to run ET minilite rims. They said the Brembo calipers tend to have tighter clearance between caliper and backside of wheel/spokes.. What is the postive or negative distance between the top of the hat to the top of caliper in this new kit?

Slotted (only) Baer rotors are also available. I'm calling you tomorrow for a set Cass thanks! Were the 2 piece rotors not available when I bought my spare 1 piece rotors? Thanks again!

The front rotors, rear rotors and rear hats have always been available. Baer made me a small batch of front hats to fit my Stage 4 front brake kit. I just received them today.

I don't know but I suppose there is a reason the Mopar engineers didn't use the Cordoba rotors on the Viper. WEll, yeah.... I understand that weight is a big part of it, right? I was not criticizing at all, I was wondering about the math of it. I did not see the size of the rotor or the piston configuration of the caliper so... Thanks though.
