I concur, brakes are an EASY job if you take your time, torque and locktite (if necessary) all bolts....sometimes caliper bracket bolts need to be replaced on some cars, not sure if the Viper follows that trend.
The brake hardware on this car is absolutely phenomenal.
It's very rare that the front and rear get the same ROYAL treatment in terms of the delicious calipers and rotors. Most marques downsize the rear brake hardware. Not here. Beautiful Brembo 4 piston calipers front and rear with massive 14+ inch vented platters for rotors. The separate, required, parking brake caliper by Brembo is a nice touch.
Truly world class brakes we have on this car and would cost close to $7000 (MSRP) to retrofit on other, lesser vehicles.
If you look under the hood even the hydraulic brake system is top notch. Look at the reservoir for the clutch. AP Racing hardware there!!!! (if memory serves me correctly)
If you do the brakes yourself, just make sure you crack the bleed ******* (there are two) on each caliper to bleed the brakes. Don't push old fluid back into the system just by opening the brake fluid reservoir and pushing the pistons back into the bores. That is lazy and INCORRECT way do do a brake job and it's amazing how many FAQ's fail to mention this. Doing this incorrectly could also screw up the ABS system by introducing particulates into the system.
Bleed the brakes every year or two. One of the most OVERLOOKED fluids in a vehicle here in the US of A.
