      This looks really promising and I’m glad to see an option like this on the market. For me, I want to see a few owners put some track days on these rotors to see how they hold up. Am I correct an assuming that your development R&D was done on other vehicles and you simply manufactured these brakes for the Viper market? It would be nice to see some of those R&D results. Maybe some comparisons of stock and then with your rotors installed?

      What might help you sell more kits here too would be a braking test. Run a stock Viper 60-0 and then install your rotors and perform the same test. We have seen tests of our cars 60-0 so it would be nice to see how your rotors perform.

      We use the same disc as for Corvette ZR1 (CCM to iron conversion), and design the rotor hat specifically to fit under Viper CCM 6 pot calipers.

      RB rotors review in Corvette forum:

      http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c6-corvette-zr1/3377524-ceramic-to-rb-steel-rotors-conversion-2.html

      Track rotors should subject to repeated high speed and tight corner braking yet still can deliver consistent performance than just 60-0 test.

      We are sponsoring “Momentary Racing” equipped with RB brakes to compete with other fast motorsports cars, and that should have said something about RB rotors.

      Some members from Gen 5 suggested that we should also post the same brake development thread here which was originally presented for Gen 5, as the kit is also good for Gen 3/4 so hopefully we can get more interest.

      ACR-E Big Brake Kit with Iron rotors for any Gen V

      In this development we proposed to furnish a complete rotor kits, these rotors are light weight but are built for track duty. The rotor sizes are to be the same as the Carbon Ceramic brake rotors as the newest ACR-E (Extreme), so it will modernize your brake to the newest and best brake Viper ever equipped.

      Please read more on that thread and let us know if you have any opinion or suggestions.
