EBC SR-21 Sintered Race Brake Pads (FRONT)

2003–2017 Dodge Viper 8.3L/8.4L V10

Part #: DP81110.16SR21

Overview

The EBC SR-21 Sintered Race Brake Pads are engineered specifically for high-performance applications on the front axle of Dodge Viper models from 2003 through 2017 equipped with 8.3L and 8.4L V10 engines. Designed for serious racers and track enthusiasts, these pads deliver aggressive stopping power and exceptional fade resistance under extreme conditions. Utilizing advanced sintered compound technology, the SR-21 pads provide consistent, reliable braking performance from cold starts to high-temperature race environments without the need for chemical bedding.

Ideal for race vehicles equipped with bias controls, these pads offer a perfect front-axle complement to the EBC SR-11 pads on the rear, ensuring balanced and precise braking dynamics. Whether you’re pushing your Dodge Viper on the track or demanding maximum performance on the street, the SR-21 pads deliver confidence-inspiring pedal feel and durability.

Key Features

Built to meet the rigorous demands of motorsport, the EBC SR-21 pads incorporate cutting-edge technology and materials:

• Ultra-high friction sintered compound for maximum bite and pedal precision
• Advanced transfer film technology that actively coats the rotor surface to reduce wear and protect components
• Fade resistance up to 925°C (1697°F) for consistent performance under extreme heat
• Zero volatile elements, eliminating the need for chemical bedding—install and race immediately
• Exceptional wear life, lasting 3 to 5 times longer than traditional semi-metallic motorsport pads
• Engineered specifically for race vehicles with bias control braking systems
• Thermally stable compound that maintains bite and reduces brake fade during extended track sessions
• Compatible with premium race calipers including AP, Alcon, Brembo, and Wilwood
• Manufactured in the USA with strict quality control standards

Construction & Design

The SR-21 pads feature a sintered metallic compound that is both extremely hard and non-compressible, ensuring precise pedal modulation and consistent brake feel. This compound is engineered to withstand the intense heat and mechanical stress generated during racing, maintaining structural integrity and performance at temperatures up to 925°C (1697°F). The advanced transfer film technology forms a protective layer on the rotor surface, significantly reducing rotor wear and extending the life of both pads and rotors.

Designed with motorsport-grade materials, these pads deliver a balance of aggressive bite and thermal stability, making them ideal for high-performance street and track use. The sintered construction also contributes to a monumental wear life, reducing the frequency of pad changes and lowering overall maintenance costs for competitive drivers.

Performance & Sound

The EBC SR-21 pads provide immediate, powerful stopping force from the moment you leave the pit lane, performing flawlessly across a wide temperature range. Their aggressive friction profile ensures rapid deceleration and excellent pedal feedback, critical for high-speed track conditions. While designed for performance, these pads maintain a controlled noise level typical of sintered compounds, delivering a confident and responsive braking experience without excessive squeal.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the SR-21 pads is straightforward, requiring no special bedding-in procedures thanks to their zero volatile element formulation. Simply install the pads, seat them to the rotor, and they are ready for immediate use. These pads are a direct fit for the front brake calipers on Dodge Viper models from 2003 to 2017 with 8.3L and 8.4L V10 engines, compatible with a range of premium race calipers. No modifications are necessary, making them an easy upgrade for racers and enthusiasts seeking enhanced braking performance.
