StopTech: Balanced Brake Upgrades for your Street and Track Day Car

StopTech Big Brake Kits are carefully engineered to keep an optimal front to rear brake bias. Why does brake bias matter? On the race track, outbraking your opponent by just two feet every lap might not sound like much, but over the course of a twenty lap sprint race it can result in a three to four car length advantage at the checkered flag. To the racer, decreased braking distance is the same as free horsepower.

Street drivers also need to take heed of bias, as the effects of improper bias not only result in sub-optimal stopping distances but can also include sub-optimal brake pad life (too much front bias) and/or premature ABS activations. For example, if a car is too heavily front-biased in its typical operating deceleration range, it will wear front brake pads more quickly due to the fact that the rear brakes are not contributing as much as they could be.

Each StopTech Big Brake Kit consists of:

• 4 or 6 Piston Calipers uniquely designed to be stiffer then the competition.A stiffer caliper means better performance with less vibration noise and pad taper as well as better pedal feel under extreme raking conditions. Calipers are available in red, black, or silver powercoated finish. Blue, Gold or Yellow Calipers may be special ordered but require a 30-45 lead time and are $200 more per axle. (please note when ordering).
• 332mm X 32mm, 355mm X 32mm or 380mm X 32mm (depending on application) AeroRotor Brake Rotors with uniquely designed vanes for better cooling
• High Performance pad material suited for high-end street uses as well as limited track application.
• DOT approved front stainless steel brake lines.
• CNC'd and anodized caliper mounting bracket with aircraft quality hardware.

About Stoptech

StopTech was founded in March of 1999 with a singular mission: Become the leading manufacturer and supplier of high performance brake components and systems. United by their passion for racing and high performance vehicles, the founding staff sought to challenge the status quo in known brake technology, and set new paradigms for brake upgrade systems.

In service of the mission, and as a direct result of our ongoing brake research, StopTech has to date received three patents in brake technology and has one patent currently pending.

StopTech is the first aftermarket brake company to offer balanced front brake upgrades, engineered to dramatically improve overall braking performance while remaining compatible with the stock OE rear brakes. This has significantly advanced the state of art in aftermarket brake upgrades.

StopTech is now the worldwide leader in Balanced Brake Upgrades for production cars, with over 277 platform offerings. The company consistently wins braking contests performed by independent publications, and is now the dominant, preferred brake system in the SPEED World Challenge Touring Car Series, the most competitive, production based sprint race series in North America. The company also participates in Grand-Am Cup, the premier production based endurance racing series in North America.

Core competencies: StopTech engineers and manufactures high performance brake rotors, calipers, DOT compliant stainless steel lines, and brake upgrade systems for the racing and performance street markets. The company distributes OE aftermarket rotors, brake pads and brake fluid. StopTech's ST-40 and ST-60 calipers are manufactured using a squeeze-forged process.

Caliper bodies, hats, and brackets are machined to ISO standards at StopTech's manufacturing facilities in Torrance, California using the latest CNC machines that feature active tooling.

StopTech has received the prestigious TuV approval in Europe for a number of its offerings, and has been selected as the exclusive brake supplier by a major OE aftermarket division.

The future vision of StopTech is to maintain focus on its original mission. In doing so, the company will continually innovate significant improvements to brake technology for street and racecars, for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
