Anyone here actually successfully convert to (2003 & newer) Viper calipers yet? I did a search and found nothing but questions and no answers.
I am ready to start tackling this project and I got enough money ready. Right now I am making a list before I execute.

I'm trying to map out my costs on this setup
I am only trying to do Viper calipers in the front and something else in the back that has a parking brake capability

Here's what I got listed so far:

Description                            Cost
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Viper Calipers - Front Pair                           $450.00
AR Engineering Conversion Kit (13" kit)       $1,000.00
Magnumforce UCA                                     $475.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Total                                                         $1,925.00


If it's too much, I might have to think alternatives.
In the future, I will be seriously looking to do a coilover suspension conversion to complement my disc brake conversion.
Thanks guys.
I appreciate all the help you can get.
If I do this successfully, I want to post a tutorial myself to help other people.

They are not yet on the Charger but I scoured the Viper forums for a set of Calipers and very quickly found a low mile set from a 99 viper with all hardware  $250. for the pair, Got my stainless lines thru inline tube for about $75 all done, Picked up the bearing bushing and master from DR.Diff,(Suggest you call Cass..Very Helpfull !) Found a set of plated and drilled 11 3/4 Rotors thru a Mopar buddy for $220.
Still need the  Caliper Bolts
                   Purportioning valve
                   New Pads.
Should be all said and done within the $1000 mark for the 11 3/4" AR / Viper setup.

Cass (DR.Diff)  also sells a Mustang Cobra rear disc setup(built in PB.) complete for $595.
