The combination of advanced pad formulation and rotor design provides improved heat dissipation and durability, making it a perfect upgrade for aggressive drivers and those seeking superior brake response.

Key Features

This front brake kit offers a range of features that enhance braking efficiency, durability, and overall driving experience:

• GG-Rated Yellowstuff Pads: High-friction compound optimized for fast road and heavier vehicle applications, delivering strong initial bite and consistent performance.
• Fully Shimmed, Chamfered, and Slotted Pads: Designed to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness while promoting smooth brake engagement.
• Patented Brake-in™ Coating: Speeds up the bedding process for quicker, more effective pad-to-rotor contact after installation.
• Premium Grooved Rotors: Enhance cooling and reduce brake fade during aggressive driving through improved airflow and heat dissipation.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Protects rotors against rust and extends service life, maintaining reliable braking performance over time.
• Optimized for Street Performance: Balances quiet operation with enhanced stopping power for everyday fast street driving.
• Direct Fitment: Designed to fit front brakes of Dodge Viper models from 2003 to 2017 with 8.3L and 8.4L V10 engines, ensuring hassle-free installation.

Construction & Design

The Yellowstuff pads utilize a specially formulated high-friction compound that maintains excellent bite even at elevated temperatures, making them ideal for aggressive street use and occasional track days. Each pad is precision-machined with chamfers and slots to minimize noise and prevent uneven wear. The inclusion of full shims further reduces vibration and brake squeal.

The grooved rotors are crafted from premium cast iron with a corrosion-resistant coating to withstand harsh environmental conditions and maintain structural integrity. The grooves serve to evacuate gases, dust, and water from the rotor surface, improving pad contact and cooling efficiency during repeated heavy braking.

Performance & Sound

The combination of Yellowstuff pads and grooved rotors delivers strong initial bite and consistent stopping power under demanding conditions. The Brake-in™ coating accelerates the bedding process, allowing the brakes to reach optimal performance quickly after installation. Noise and vibration are minimized through the use of shims, chamfers, and slots, resulting in a quieter, more refined braking experience without sacrificing performance.

Installation & Fitment

This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the front brake pads and rotors on Dodge Viper models from 2003 to 2017 with 8.3L and 8.4L V10 engines. Installation requires no modifications, making it suitable for professional mechanics and experienced enthusiasts alike. Proper bedding-in of the pads is recommended to achieve the best performance and longevity.

What's Included

• Set of EBC Yellowstuff high-friction front brake pads (fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted)
