Does Cass do those as a seperate item?
Thanks Ade! My Rotors are 13" in diameter and 1.250 Thick. Yes, Cass has kits for the 4 piston Brembo's and 11.75" Cop Car rotors,,of course I think you would have to use pad spacers because the factory 11.75 rotors are a bit thinner than 1.250,,either way it would still be a nice system! Keep in mind the Vipers pad surface area is 5.480 inches The Factory single piston is 5.940 of surface area. This is important for calculating the brake bias between Front to rear. You want at least a 2 to 1 bias. The Dodge Viper is 2.5 to 1 bias but has better weight distribution than B&E bodies which are more front end heavy. But YES,, Cass can supply individual items,,like adaptors,,calipers,,or Masters,,,any component you need or mix and match to suit your brake project. I personally don't like self energizing brakes,(DRUM BRAKES), too hard to modulate and unpredictable and heavy. Kinda like Fat Indiana Women,,,ROFL
