It's been a while for me on here so if anybody has discussed this just let me know.

I've been waiting on brakes (front pads and rotors) for 3-4 months and just heard that they discontinued one of the parts I was waiting on. I did a search for a bit online and asked some stored if they stocked anything. They all said no, what do you guys run for the street? I'd ideally like lower brake dust, but I need something that is in stock so I can drive the car again before it gets cold.

Everything is appreciated!

Car is a 2015 Viper GT with new blinker fluid installed ;)

I use Raybestos Race pads on my ACR. They are relatively low dust and quiet. R45s in front, R43s in rear. On my GTS I use the OEM Brembo pads. Call JonB and ask what he has in stock. He can likely get you pads very quickly.

Do you mind sending me his contact info? I don't recall seeing him on the sponsors, but that was also about a year ago

Thank you guys, I saw on his page here that the only rotors/pads he has are for older vipers and I have a HUGE itch to drive so I ended up going with EBC S5 Yellow Stuff and should get to me shortly. Does anybody have any feedback on these? They're supposed to stop better, make less noise, and almost no break dust

Update:
After ordering online and calling a couple of online retailers, nobody actually has any in stock. Even though they took the money and claimed they had it, they still didn't have any rotors in stock. I gave Viper Jon (JobB) a call and he had them over to me basically the next day and half the price of the online retailers who where even trying to sell me the wrong rotors. Definitely recommend using Jon with partsrack for getting parts, I know I am from now on!
