Key Features

The EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit Grooved (REAR) integrates advanced materials and design features to optimize braking performance and longevity:

• Yellowstuff High-Friction Pads: GG-rated compound delivers maximum bite and stopping power, ideal for fast road and heavier vehicles.
• Fully Shimmed, Chamfered, and Slotted Pads: Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness for smooth and quiet operation.
• Patented Brake-in™ Coating: Accelerates pad bedding for quicker, more effective break-in after installation.
• Grooved Sports Rotors: Designed to improve cooling and reduce brake fade during spirited driving.
• Corrosion-Resistant Rotor Finish: Enhances durability and maintains appearance over time.
• Precision Fitment: Engineered specifically for Dodge Viper 2003–2017 rear brakes to ensure perfect compatibility.
• Durable Construction: High-quality materials withstand the rigors of aggressive street driving and occasional track use.

Construction & Design

The brake pads feature a proprietary Yellowstuff friction material that balances aggressive bite with excellent wear characteristics. Each pad is meticulously finished with chamfers and slots to minimize noise and dust, while the full shims act as a buffer to reduce vibration and heat transfer to the caliper.

The grooved rotors are crafted from premium cast iron with precision-machined grooves that help evacuate gases, dust, and water from the pad surface. This design promotes consistent pad contact and improved thermal management, reducing the risk of brake fade during demanding driving sessions. Additionally, the rotors are coated with a corrosion-resistant finish to extend service life and maintain optimal braking performance.

Performance & Sound

The combination of Yellowstuff pads and grooved rotors delivers a strong initial bite and consistent stopping power, even under high-temperature conditions. The chamfered and slotted pad design, along with full shims, significantly reduces brake noise and vibration, providing a quieter and more refined braking experience without sacrificing performance.

Installation & Fitment

This kit is designed for direct bolt-on installation on the rear brakes of Dodge Viper models from 2003 to 2017 with 8.3L and 8.4L V10 engines.
