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.

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.

Aerorotor vane design

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%.

AiroHat

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.

Slotted
Drilled
Plain

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.

Slotted with Zinc Coating
Drilled with Zinc Coating

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.

 

Wheel Fitment 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.
