Default Re: Brake Pads: Which replacement pads most like OEM?

Damn Kai,

You must be driving hell out of your Viper! You haven't had it that long have you?

Just curious, what are they asking for the OEM pads?
I've had it about a year. About 13,000 miles on it so far. It's had a lot of track days, and I drive it pretty hard. I am actually very impressed that the stock brake pads have lasted as well as they have. The OEM runflats have also done well to last this long. They need to be replaced, but 13,000 miles is pretty good for both brakes and tires the way I drive. (I could probably squeeze another 1000 miles out of the rear tires too.)

Last I checked, stock brake pads were about $300 per axle. Unless I can find something comparable, I'll just bite the bullet and get the OEM pads again. They seem like a really good road/track combination pad.
