Key Features

This kit combines advanced materials and design to optimize braking efficiency and reliability. Key features include:

• Redstuff™ ceramic brake pads engineered for high-performance passenger cars, delivering powerful stopping ability with exceptionally low dust output.
• Up to 15% improved braking performance compared to OEM pads, ensuring shorter stopping distances and enhanced pedal feel.
• Pads constructed with aramid fibre and ceramic granules for consistent, strong braking power while being gentle on rotors.
• Pads fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) and promote even pad wear.
• Patented EBC Brake-in™ coating on pads for faster bedding-in and optimal initial performance.
• OE-style direct replacement slotted rotors made from G3000-spec cast iron for durability and heat dissipation.
• Rotors feature Gen 3 Silver Grey finish providing advanced corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.
• Each rotor is fully balanced and runout-tested to ensure smooth, reliable braking without pulsation.
• Designed specifically for the front axle of Dodge Viper 2003–2017 8.3L/8.4L V10 models for perfect fitment and performance.

Construction & Design

The Redstuff ceramic brake pads utilize a proprietary blend of aramid fibers combined with ceramic granules to deliver a high-friction, low-dust compound. This composition ensures strong, consistent stopping power while minimizing rotor wear and brake dust accumulation on wheels. The pads are precision-machined with chamfers and slots to reduce noise and improve heat dissipation.

The included rotors are manufactured from G3000-grade cast iron, known for its excellent thermal conductivity and strength. The rotors’ slotted design helps evacuate gases, dust, and heat during braking, reducing fade and maintaining consistent performance under demanding conditions. The Gen 3 Silver Grey coating provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that protects against rust and extends rotor life while maintaining a clean, attractive finish.

Installation & Fitment

This kit is designed as a direct OE-style replacement for the front brakes of Dodge Viper models from 2003 to 2017 with 8.3L or 8.4L V10 engines. Installation requires no modifications and fits directly onto the factory mounting points. The pads come fully shimmed and ready to install, while the rotors are balanced and runout-tested to ensure smooth operation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper bedding and optimal brake performance.

What's Included

• One set of EBC Redstuff ceramic front brake pads
• One pair of OE replacement slotted front brake rotors with Gen 3 Silver Grey coating
