EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit Grooved (REAR)

1992–2000 Dodge Viper 8.0L V10

Part #: S5KR1404

Overview

The EBC S5 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit Grooved (REAR) is a premium braking solution engineered specifically for the 1992–2000 Dodge Viper equipped with the 8.0L V10 engine. This kit combines EBC’s flagship Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with grooved sports rotors, delivering exceptional stopping power and durability for fast road driving and heavier vehicles. Designed for enthusiasts who demand reliable, high-performance braking on both street and spirited driving conditions, this kit ensures enhanced safety and control without compromising comfort or noise levels.

Each brake pad features EBC’s patented Brake-in™ coating, which accelerates the bedding process, allowing you to achieve optimal braking performance quickly after installation. The grooved rotors improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade, making this kit ideal for drivers who push their Viper to its limits while maintaining everyday usability.

Key Features

This rear brake kit offers a combination of advanced materials and thoughtful engineering to maximize braking efficiency and longevity:

• Yellowstuff High-Friction Pads: GG-rated compound designed for aggressive street driving and heavier vehicles, providing superior bite and fade resistance.
• Fully Shimmed, Chamfered, and Slotted Pads: Minimizes noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while ensuring smooth and consistent braking feel.
• Patented Brake-in™ Coating: Speeds up the bedding process for quicker optimal pad-to-rotor contact.
• Grooved Sports Rotors: Enhance cooling and help evacuate gases and debris, reducing brake fade during demanding driving.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Protects rotors from rust and extends service life, maintaining reliable performance over time.
• Optimized for Fast Street Driving: Balances performance and quiet operation for daily driving and spirited use.
• Precision Fitment: Designed specifically for the rear brakes of the Dodge Viper 1992–2000 8.0L V10, ensuring easy installation and perfect alignment.

Construction & Design

The EBC S5 kit is built with high-quality materials engineered to withstand the rigors of performance driving. The Yellowstuff pads utilize a proprietary high-friction compound that maintains consistent braking force even under elevated temperatures. Their chamfered and slotted design reduces pad edge stress and helps prevent uneven wear, while the full shims act as a barrier to reduce noise and vibration.

The grooved rotors are manufactured from premium cast iron with precision-machined grooves that improve thermal management by increasing airflow and allowing gases and dust to escape. This design reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains consistent pedal feel during aggressive driving. Additionally, the corrosion-resistant coating on the rotors helps preserve their appearance and structural integrity over time.

Performance & Sound

The combination of Yellowstuff pads and grooved rotors delivers strong initial bite and excellent fade resistance, making this kit well-suited for fast road and performance street driving. The chamfered and slotted pad design, along with full shims, significantly reduces brake noise and vibration, providing a quieter and more comfortable driving experience without sacrificing stopping power.

Installation & Fitment

This kit is designed for direct bolt-on installation on the rear brakes of the 1992–2000 Dodge Viper with the 8.0L V10 engine. No modifications are required, and the components fit precisely to factory specifications. It is recommended to follow standard brake installation procedures, including proper cleaning of rotors and calipers, and to bed the pads according to EBC’s instructions to achieve optimal performance and longevity.

What's Included

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