ABOUT THE PART
Stoptech Big Brake Kits give your vehicle
that Supercar look and feel, and exceed stock performance in
two areas. First, larger rotors increase heat capacity.
Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel brake lines
reduce system compliance.
The key, however, is to increase heat
capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting the stock
front to rear brake torque ratio. If the brake upgrade you
select adds too much front torque (as many do), you reduce
your car's ability to utilize the tractive capacity of all
of the tires to the maximum practical extent (even on ABS
equipped cars) and you therefore create performance
sacrifices. In addition, too many pistons or pistons that
are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult
to modulate, which limits a driver's control of brake input
on the race track.
- Shorter stopping distances, better brake
modulation, firmer brake pedal, and less brake fade
- Balanced Brake Upgrades™ with optimum brake
bias offer the shortest stopping distance with the best pedal
feel
- Their patented AeroRotors® with the best
airflow available result in better cooling, less fade and longer
rotor and pad life
- The stiffest aftermarket calipers with
patented bridge result in better clamping under hard braking and
less pad taper
- Track testing of new applications ensures
optimum performance
|
CALIPERS
StopTech's ST-40 and ST-60
calipers are fully forged for optimal strength and light
weight. All caliper finish machining (such as piston bores
sized correctly for the application) and assembly/testing is
done in our Southern California facility. StopTech tests
every single finished caliper to 2800 psi using brake fluid
on a special test bench designed by StopTech engineers.

CALIPER COLOR OPTIONS
Calipers are available in the following colors:
|
Blue,
gold and yellow calipers have a 30-45 day lead time
and are $200 extra per axle.
Silver calipers are available at no extra charge,
but do have a 30-45 day lead time.
|
AEROROTOR®
The patented AeroRotor®
features curved vanes with innovations on leading and trailing
edges. The uniquely designed vanes inside the disc optimize
airflow through the rotor. This improved directional design
minimizes turbulence and flows more air than any rotor tested.
The result is up to 80% better airflow over original equipment
rotors and 10-30% better airflow than directional vaned racing
rotors currently available.

AEROHAT™
Outer rotor faces run hotter. The patent pending
AeroHat™ has directional stand offs between the rotor and
mounting bell (hat) that increase airflow to the outside faces
of the rotor by 50-100%. Increased airflow reduces the
temperature difference between the inside and outside faces of
the rotor resulting in less distortion and better performance
compared to other fully floating designs. Outer pad wear is
reduced. AeroHat™ improves entire brake system airflow by up to
4%.

The below chart shows that StopTech (top red line) has the
highest induced airflow of any rotor tested. Leading aftermarket
and original equipment rotors were tested for airflow from 30mph
to 150mph. AeroRotor® dramatically outperformed all other
rotors, with improvements from an impressive 11% to a staggering
80% increase in airflow (corrected to 20°C and sea level.)

BETTER AIRFLOW MEANS BETTER COOLING AND LESS FADE
ROTOR PATTERNS
Rotors are available slotted, drilled or
plain. Drilled rotors are $100 extra per axle.
StopTech now offers an
anti-corrosion gold zinc coating for all AeroRotors. The coating
benefits customers who live in cold climates where snow and road
salt are commonly encountered, and customers who would prefer to
not have visible surface rust on the vanes and outer
circumference of their rotors. Zinc coating does not have a
negative environmental impact like other coatings. Gold zinc
coating costs $70 per axle extra.

HATS AND BRACKETS
StopTech's hats and brackets are made with a
special type of billet aluminum that was designed for the
AeroSpace industry in the United States. The German TÜV were so
impressed with the durability of these parts during testing that
they replicated the bracket and repeated the test with a steel
imitation of our part. The steel version failed early.
Hats and brackets are machined to ISO standards at StopTech's
manufacturing facility in Torrance, California, using the latest
CNC machines that feature active tooling.
STREET PERFORMANCE PADS
The performance pads included
with kits are suitable for both street and light track use such
as Autocross (1 lap at a time). For more aggressive track use or
race use, it is very important to select pads appropriate to the
type of driving.
The manufacturers below all make pads to fit StopTech
calipers. Please see the compound descriptions in the “High
Performance Pad” section of this web site to help you select
appropriate street, track day or race pads.
Other Options
-
High performance brake fluid - Higher boiling
point than stock fluid
-
Rear slotted or drilled rotors for front kits - Add bite and
match the aesthetics of the front kit
-
Rear stainless steel lines for front kits - Provide quicker
pedal response and better feel
-
Rear performance pads for front kits - Increase maximum
operating temperature compared to stock
STOPTECH STEEL BRAKE LINES
StopTech makes our own stainless steel brake
lines in Southern California. StopTech is a DOT (U.S. Department
of Transportation) registered supplier of Stainless Steel Brake
Lines. Line material and fittings are all made from the highest
quality parts available. Lines feature a clear
abrasion-resistant cover for maximum protection against
chaffing. Necessary quality control procedures are in place to
ensure lines are the correct length, etc. Every fully assembled
StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Line is tested to a pressure of
4,500 PSI.
WHEEL FITMENT
Most cars require upgraded wheels to fit over a big brake kit,
but some kits do fit in stock wheels. When a kit fits stock
wheels, this is noted in the kit description. To view this
description, click on the part number for the particular kit of
interest after searching on make, year and model in our online
ordering system.
General guidelines for wheel fitment are below, but more
important than the diameter of the wheel is the space 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. Clearance is strictly a function of the spoke design. Even
is the diameter of your wheel is sufficient, we still recommend
that you check fitment.
Easy-to-use templates and instructions on how to use them are
under Technical Information/ Wheel Fitment on this web site.
These templates will allow you to accurately test fit any wheel.
Be sure you check wheel fitment before committing to a wheel
set.
 |
Kits usually
require these minimum wheel diameters: 328mm rotor
(12.9 inches) - 17 inch wheel
332mm rotor (13 inches) - 17 inch wheel
355mm rotor (14 inches) - 18 inch wheel
380mm rotor (15 inches) - 19 inch wheel
Please use the link below to check your wheel
fitment.
