Sorry guys. i remember this post but cant find it. Did the search.
i got the pads and there is a wire on the pads for the front brakes. do cut it off. have a gen 1. If i matters The rears pads come with 4 litle clips. Does anyone know what the clips are for. i dont want to miss anything. im doing the job myself.

Do you have a Service Manual for the car? The rear brakes can be screwed up if you don't do the job right. By clips, do you mean shims?

no i figured it out. for the front breaks came a wire. something i didnt need. now the rear brake pads came with little clips like bent bobby pins. but those are for other car makes. not needed for the viper.
how do i bed the brakes

I'm assuming you got EBC greens. The instructions come with a break in procedure. I found that the rotor resurfacing is very important to getting squeal free. Get the 3M rotor resurfacing kit (ROLOC) and have at it. I also used "disc brake quiet" to get mine silent.

i got ebc red stuff for the front and the green for the back. i didnt get the bedding procedures in the box. weired. do u know?? or i will just check the website

I don't know why you would do red in the front and green in the back. Different applications. Green is for street driving. If you are tracking the car, Green is not good.

this is something that i wanted to try. i hared that ebc greensin the front ware fast. 80 percent of braking is in the front 20 in the back. the car is very heavy. will front pad will heat up quick. just something i want to experience. thats all. maybe ill be changing them soon...maybe ill like. wel see

This posting http://tinyurl.com/e544y basically repeats what was in the instructions in the box with the EBC Greens.
Here is a good post about scuffing the rotors

I just did this myself, so, I still have my references from the most excellent archives here.
