Stoptech big brake kits are designed
for ultimate performance instead of a piece of "eye-candy". We have
worked with Stoptech on the design of their E36 M3 kit and custom
applications for our World Challenge cars and no one puts more
effort into making a brake kit absolutely perfect.
Calipers: The Stoptech ST-40 is a
completely new caliper, designed specifically to perform on the
street and track. The Patent Pending "Bolt-in" Bridge is unique,
making the ST-40 three times stiffer than the competition. The
ST-40 offers 8 different piston diameters to choose from, so the
caliper can be made specifically for any application. This is what
has allowed Stoptech to build brake kits that are perfectly
balanced to work with your stock braking system, unlike other kits
which throw off the balance. The ST-40 can be made to fit from 28
to 35mm thick rotors and 328 to 355mm rotor diameters. Dust boots
are standard on all street calipers, and commonly available pad
wear sensors can be used.
Though the ST-40 will mount in the
same place as a Brembo F-40 or F-50 caliper and uses common pistons
and seals, it is a superior caliper in terms of stiffness,
versatility and price. Porsche Big Red calipers have a taller pad
and require a larger rotor annulus (heavier rotor). While this
taller pad sometimes lasts longer, for a given rotor and piston
size the brake torque is less.
