I finally had the chance to get these brakes installed. The hold up was finding a front 18 inch wheel that would clear the 6 piston and 380mm rotor. That,and I wanted to keep the factory staggered 19 inch rear, 18 inch fronts. CCW does have a wheel that will work, but no 19 x 13 for the rears. Just 18 inch front and backs. The ACR is my dedicated track car,but I enjoy driving it on the street with the Sport Cup tires. CCW couldn't help me on this. So I had Jon B contact Forgeline Wheel for me. Forgeline was able to special make me a wheel combo that would work. Working off of Stoptech's wheel fitment template..

These are the 3 piece GA3 wheels with titanium fasteners..
After bedding in the brakes. I did some runs on some back roads,and on the freeway. Wow these brakes bite hard as hell! The braking is so strong that it will put you through the windshield LOL. I'm running the same spec ( Carbotech XP12) pads that were also on my factory brakes. No comparison to the factory 4 piston , 14inch factory fronts. That were on this car,and on my Gen V.The car is perfect now. I always said that the Viper's biggest weakness was it's brakes. I can't wait to go back out to Laguna Seca. Laguna is a track that's also very hard on the brakes. It's going to be badass..
A big thank's to Jon B too..
