Yup, I'm a Viper guy, but the cars share the same rear caliper. And yup, in AX, the first model year Vipers suck until they get better rear brakes.

I wrote the SELOC TechWiki articles about the brakes history and also how to rebuild them, so if you have any questions, let me know.
I would be quite interested in a better rear brake actually... I have a lot more grip on the rear with the 245's and especially when I run the A6's. From what I'm getting off your site they are $700 with a core and $999 with out correct? Can you ship them out and wait for a core return? Or do you need the actual breaks before you would send the replacements? My car is a daily driver and I need to keep it on the road is why I ask.

The only thing I'm sketchy about is if I go with a big brake kit on the front + the larger diameter pistons on the rears is that the master cylinder may not be able to supply volume of fluid need to make them work properly due to the incresed volume of the calipers. I would also dislike having a lot of pedal travel over stock if it can be avoided.
