Will Gen 3 & 4 rotors fit on Gen 5 Vipers?

[sfviper]

Hello, does anyone know if the gen 3 & 4 rotors fit on the gen 5? I have a new set of Giro disc 2-piece rotors that i never installed on my gen 3, so i was hoping i could install them on my new gen 5. Thanks.

Should be exactly the same, provided you aren't putting it on a TA. That would be the only exception since they use a different rotor (more surface area).

Thanks Steve! I'm putting them on a 2013 GTS without the Track Package.

You should be good to go...even the track pack rotors are the same size, just 2-piece instead of one.

Thanks! you just saved me $3k on a new set of 2-piece rotors...now i just have to find a local Viper tech that can install them.

Rockauto has Stoptech Drilled and slotted rotors for $125 each..... for a 2005 Viper.

Anyone can install them, it is one of the most basic operations you could do for a car....
Front:
Remove wheel
Remove 2 caliper mounting bolts
Lift Caliper off
Pull old rotor off
Put new rotor on
Put caliper back in place
Reinstall caliper bolts and torque
Reinstall wheel and torque

Rear:
Same as front with the exception that you have to remove the ebrake caliper as well as the main caliper.

Only thing to remember is that the front and rear rotors are different offsets..

Ok, i'll try to install the fronts...does anyone know what the torque is on the bolts? Thanks.

Those have to be one piece rotors for that price.

Should be 85 ft-lbs.

Thank you!

Perused by the RockAuto site. The $108 Stoptech's show a weight of 27 lbs if you cross reference the Centrix number. The $321 Stoptech show the more expected 18 lbs. each.

Interesting...that's not a bad price for the 2-piece.
