Brake noise on 99

[Viper Wizard]

That is normal for stock brake pads! It may change some as you put more miles on your Viper. My 94 is the same way.

Normal. EBC pads (JonB at Partsrack) will eliminate the squeal and brake dust but don't use them at the track.

Took about 1500 miles before my 2000 "un-squealed". Give it a little more time.... it does go away

I've seen the EBC Green pads, recomended for street use, but how long will they last, my dealer quoted me $250 to all four.....Anyone have any information on how many miles under normal agresive street driving these EBC pads will last ?

Normal street driving we have customers who "used to get 10K miles" on OEM that now get 7K miles or so..and no squeel or dust the whole time! So the 30% less pad life was a great tradeoff for the vast majority, esp at $149 for all 4 corners. In addition, as the EBC VIPER brand has grown, Great Brakes has indeed upped the "endurance" component of GREENS. Stay Tuned!

EBC greens on the FRONT wear very fast if used on track, however. Ie 75 laps and GONE! DONT!

Lemme see.....$210 + $174 = $384. My quote $399 was indeed $15 in error. Maybe I added tax! 9I think I actually said ~~$400 which I hope translates to 'approximately' $400.

NOW, Mr, Wizard, how about solving the REAL puzzle.......why rears show "$139 Need 4"

 

[Viper Wizard]

For VCA Members they get a 25% discount! Ft&Rr pads for $288 + Tax. And they come with a 12/12 warranty!

You have the proper info!! Call Jon B for the EBC's , as they work as advertised. Contrary to popular belief we do not carry them, but Parts Rack does, and Jon B will be very helpful. Now if you decide you want some RACING PADS , give us a call, as they too are way under the price of the OEM pads.

Mine does that too. I call it POWER SQUEAK. . . If it makes you feel better the F40 also does it.
