You need the Dave's Big Brakes kit.

Give him a call and start piecing together your kit.

Rough estimate is 3600 but I was able to do the full kit including calipers for 2800. Just depends on bargain shopping and other nice VCA members. Ellowviper set me up with a set of stainless lines, Billy ***** set me up with the OEM rotors Gen 3.
By the way, hands down best upgrade for a Gen 2!

Ok as far as rotors, you can ONLY use the front SRT rotors, even in the back. Jon, correct me if I am wrong. Lemme repeat myself

You can ONLY use the "FRONT SRT ROTORS" on your Gen 2 viper, front and back. The way you tell which ones are the fronts are you lay them on the rotor hat and I believe the tall ones are the fronts, but don't quote me. Ask an expert about that one.

You will need 1 Daves BBK front brackets, 1 Daves BBK rear bracket kit, 1 emergency brake kit, stainless steel lines.

Yes, the Dave's BBK takes SRT front rotors only.

Jon B @ Parts Rack bought Dave's business after Dave passed away last year, and he can answer your questions as well as sell you the parts. I bought what you see in the pics from Dan at Viper Specialty, but that is a choice for you to make - who you buy them from.

You will need in addition to the calipers and appropriate rotors the bracket kit, and I would not skip the hose kit either.

Be sure and discuss wheel size/brake fitment with your retailer.

Dave has the BEST pictures of the BBK upgrade !

Happy, what wheels are you planning on running?
If you are planning on using the Stock wheels....then I hope you got 13" rotors for the rear.
If you have aftermarket wheels then you should be ok with 14" rotors on the rear.
