Championship Winning Balanced Brake Upgrade
Complete This kit includes:
|
| |
|
Rotors:
All StopTech Balanced Brake Upgrades are shipped with slotted AeroRotors®, however, drilled rotors can be substituted. Slotting assists in removing the debris generated between the pad and rotor during braking as well as increasing the "bite" characteristics of the pad/rotor interface. A drilled rotor provides the same benefits and works better in the wet, but is more susceptible to cracking under severe usage, as well as causing greater pad wear. For more severe applications, where elevated rotor temperatures are expected on a regular basis, StopTech strongly recommends slotted AeroRotors®. |

Calipers:
Standard caliper colors are red or black paint. Silver is no
extra charge, but requires a 15 business-day lead time. blue,
gold or yellow calipers are available based on special indent.

Pads:
After extensive testing with most of the high-performance street pad compounds
currently on the market, StopTech chose the Axxis Ultimate as the standard pad included in its big brake kits. Testing showed this to be the best pad for the price, for aggressive street to autocross use. The Axxis Ultimate pad combines cold stopping performance with high-temperature fade resistance, and features anti-squeal shims and wear sensors, where applicable. Race pads are optional.

Wheel Fitment:
Whether a kit fits a stock wheel is dependent on the specific application
StopTech's ST-series calipers usually require the following:
More important than the diameter is the clearance between the face of the caliper and the inside of the wheel spokes. Wheel width and offset have nothing to do with this clearance area; it is strictly a function of the spoke design.

ST-60 - Six Piston Front Caliper :
- Squeeze-forged from aluminum alloy in a QS- and IS- compliant facility
- Patented, bolt-in bridge minimizes caliper compliance for a firmer pedal
- Stiffest six-piston caliper currently on the market
- Can be used on rotors with outer diameter of 328-380mm, and a thickness of 28-35mm
- All finished parts are 100 percent leakdown and pressure tested to 2500PSI
- Uses a popular pad shape, available in over 15 street and race friction compounds
- Over 19 piston sizes available, to engineer best balance per application
- Differential piston sizes minimize pad taper for longer pad life and a firmer pad.

ST-40 - Four Piston Caliper For Front And Rear:
- Squeeze-forged from aluminum alloy in a QS- and IS- compliant facility
- All finished parts are 100 percent leakdown and pressure tested to 2500PSI
- Uses standard FMSI D372 pad (used in some Porsche calipers)
- Eight piston sizes available, to engineer best balance per application
- Differential piston sizes minimize bad taper
- Dust boots are standard
- Same caliper used by top SPEED® World Challenge and Grand-Am teams

General Benefits of Big Brake Kits:
Big Brake Kits give your vehicle that supercar look and feel, and exceed stock performance in two areas. First, larger rotors increase heat capacity and the system's ability to dissipate heat. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance.
