My Stage 4 brake kit uses the same pads as second generation (ie '05) Viper calipers.
Good to know! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Wheels with flatter spokes can make it easier...mine is a little tight but works well. I have good clearance on the outside diameter sort of area.
Or ...

My calipers are 8 piston Brembos, so might be a little larger then those as well? (On 360mm rotors) I still have decent clearance to the spokes of my wheels...but every combo will be slightly different I would say, depending on wheels with spoke shape, mounting pad height, and rotor height people use. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif) (Mine are 2 piece, so no bolts along the inside edge eight depending on how close people's calipers may come to that area?)

It would have to think it would be way less than half the weight of mine easily if not more.. (and an inch larger in diameter) I might toss it on a scale tomorrow for the heck of it. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) Still waiting for the other 3 rotors to turn up for him too, be any day now I would imagine.

Most everything fits the late B-body knuckle.
I thought most of the Wilwood kits fit small bearing drum knuckles.

Speaking of large brakes...check this out...a buddy in Oz ordered a set of brakes for a ZR1 that he is going to retrofit onto a Torana (like mine). Carbon rotor, HUGE (nearly 15.5") and weighs next to nothing !
Having the billet hats and the carbon disc is probably a 40 lb weight reduction off one end of a car if you replaced steel with those.
13.2 pounds for one! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shock.gif)

Vs probably close to 50 lbs for a similar 15.5" steel rotor. That's a lot of rotational energy you're saving. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shock.gif)

I would have guessed 2500 per rotor, but at 1500 per, that is a lot cheaper than other offerings at SEMA that were in the 9-11k price range.
of course the term "cheaper" doesn't really apply here.
cool stuff!
