      Have you looked at the parking brake pad too? It might be toast too. As for the pad, depends on your driving style. Do you track it, just street use? Many options out there. EBC yellows are good, Mintex is a great pad too.

      Check PMs.

      I’ve got you covered. I’ve got front and rear rotors and pads off my ’06 with ~4,000 miles. PM me with what you think is a fair price.

      I have been using stock rotor for 44000mi … I had 5 of them and they are good if you are not a racer.
      I do a lot of track days and they are doing a good job on my stock Viper with stock tires.
      The most important is to keep your Viper balanced.

      By the way : I have installed used rotors 2 times from those who bought the ACR rotor sets 🙂 I saved a lot of money
      I do insist I am running stock tires on track and street and saving a LOT of money while having a lot of fun.

      New factory rotors are pretty reasonably priced, especially if your dealer will offer a little discount.

      Cost almost as much to ship the things as to just go to dealer and buy them. (Really Heavy)

      Check with your local Dealer — you may be surprised , as shipping can be hefty .

      As far as pads, on my 02 GTS I had a stoptech full kit and I used EBC…reds, I think. It was what Jon recommended that would work but but be a lot a cleaner as I had ahiny wheela at the time. He was right. They made wheel cleaning such a smaller part of my day.

      If you didn’t get taken care of already shoot me a PM. I have rotors off my ’06 and I’ll send them your way for whatever you think is fair if you cover the shipping.

      Dealer says back rotors are toast and need to be replaced so I need some Gen III rotors for my basically stock 2005 Viper. I would love to get some aftermarket high performance brakes but my tight financial position due to low oil and gas prices, expensive daughters, and bank account watching wife 🙁 is forcing me to conserve. I you have any rotors/pads laying around that you could sell me at a good price it would greatly be appreciated. I need to get my daily driver back on the road ASAP so i can take advantage of the current Houston weather.

      The strange thing is that i had just looked at the brake pads two weeks ago while getting the tires changed and the outside pads looked low but not enough to cause any damage. I didn’t know the inside pads can wear faster than the outside pads.
