Viper 13 inch Kit for A/B/E body Mopars $995

This kit from AR Engineering allows you to use the high technology Viper caliper with a 13x1.25 inch rotor. The Viper caliper is lighter than the factory cast iron caliper and it provides better braking feel due to the four piston design. Since the Viper caliper is a modern high performance design, the pad selection is quite broad. This kit works with the front calipers from any 2003 or newer Viper.

The AR Engineering kit contains the parts necessary to hang the new Viper calipers onto the disc brake knuckles found on 1973 or newer A body or E body cars. This kit will also fit on the slightly taller FMJ knuckles or the ones from the 1973 or newer B body cars. We have found that the use of aftermarket upper control arms such as the ones pictured above from Firm Feel works well when using the taller knuckles.

The complete AR Engineering kit contains a set of 13x1.25 inch rotors, steel billet hubs, and hard anodized caliper brackets. We have also included the necessary mounting hardware as well as high quality Timken bearings and genuine Mopar hub seals and dust caps.

The Viper calipers can be purchased new from any Dodge dealer, or you can buy them used from Archer Racing in Duluth, MN. You will also need to acquire the proper pads and suitable brake hoses.

17 inch rims will be required to clear the large 13 inch rotors. The hubs in this AR Engineering kit have been designed to work with 17x8 Ford Mustang rims that have 5.72 inches of backspacing and the 2.780 center hole. We recommend part number M-1007-J178 which is the 2001 GT or “Bullitt” rim. For additional information see the installation instructions.

Currently this 13 inch brake kit is a special order only. Send email to andyf@arengineering.com for ordering info. If you wish to purchase a kit that is complete with calipers, pads and hoses you will need to contact the Miles Chrysler parts department at 1-800-311-3945.
