Hey All
I am relatively new to the viper scene. I have a 2000 ACR. I have recently upgraded the stock rotors and pads to Erispeed rotors in stock sizes with EBC red pads.
I have notice a number of the things about the braking characteristics that I would like to improve on.
1. I have noticed that the new rotors and pads perform poorly when cold and they seem to cool off quickly.
2. I also have noticed that I require more force on the pedal compared to the stock set up.
3. The most disturbing part of the break setup currently, is the lack of stability under braking from speeds over 90mph. The car seems to chase ruts and leave you with a very unsettled feeling.
I have read that there is a brace for the rear suspension on Gen 2 cars that helps stabilize the car under braking. Who has tried this and what are the results.
Now before everyone jumps in and tells me to buy this system or that system. Please keep in mind that I am most interested in predictability and stability. In other words I don't want a system that is so strong that the brakes lock easily and I am looking to build a system that is very stable under braking.
Thanks
