StopTech Big Brake Kits Balanced Brake Upgrades™ for your Street & Track Day Vehicle
StopTech is the leading manufacturer and supplier of high performance brake components and systems. Driven by their passion for racing and high performance vehicles, StopTech engineers and manufactures high performance brake upgrade systems for the racing and performance street markets.
StopTech Big Brake Kits feature:
Floating, directional AeroRotors® with billet aluminum directional AeroHat™
Billet aluminum mounting brackets with stainless steel studs
Forged or squeeze-forged, high-performance patented calipers
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 and the system's ability to dissipate heat. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance, providing a firmer brake pedal and more precise modulation. All this adds up to significant benefits:
shorter stopping distances
better brake modulation
firmer brake pedal
less brake fade
StopTech Big Brake Kit advantages:
Balanced Brake Upgrades™ – provide optimum brake bias for the shortest stopping distance with the best pedal feel
Patented AeroRotors® – offer the best airflow available for better cooling, less fade and longer rotor and pad life
Stiffest aftermarket calipers with patented bridge – for better clamping under hard braking and less pad taper
Rigorous track testing – to ensure optimum performance and compatibility with all ABS and vehicle dynamic control systems
For Balanced Brake Upgrades™ the key 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) thereby sacrificing performance. Additionally, too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal more difficult to modulate limiting a driver's control of brake input on the race track. StopTech is the first aftermarket brake company to offer front Balanced Brake Upgrades™ engineered to dramatically improve overall braking performance while remaining compatible with the stock original equipment rear brakes. This has significantly advanced the state of art of aftermarket brake upgrades.
StopTech Big Brake Kits – with Red Calipers and Slotted AeroRotors® – are available for immediate shipment for many popular cars, trucks, and SUVs including Audi, BMW, Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet, Chrysler 300 & 300C, Corvette, Dodge Charger & Magnum, Ford, GMC Truck, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Mustang, Nissan, Saab, Subaru Imprezza, Volkswagen & more – click here for catalog.

Reduces heat-related stress, increases brake performance and pedal feel
Aggressive pads that last longer and provide the highest level of performance
Brembo Gran Turismo Brake Systems have been developed specifically to replace the vehicle’s front brakes (due to the higher braking requirements encountered there); rear brake systems are offered for select applications. For vehicles that do not have a Gran Turismo System for the rear axle, Brembo suggests their Sport Brake Rotors – available as cross-drilled or slotted – to provide a matched appearance on all four wheels of your vehicle. The Sport Brake Rotors are 1-piece direct replacement brake rotors manufactured as solid or vented according to original equipment specifications.
Wheel size and wheel clearance are important considerations when upgrading your brake system. In most cases, the Gran Turismo Brake System’s larger calipers and oversized brake discs require the use of custom aftermarket wheels that provide the appropriate brake clearance.

The Power Slot Plus Big Brake System features a premium quality Power Slot brake rotor that is larger than the vehicle’s OE rotor but that can still be used with your original factory brake calipers. Power Slot's patented caliper relocation brackets space the factory caliper further away from the hub to accommodate their oversized brake rotor. This increases brake torque force without affecting pedal effort or travel. The larger rotor is also a more effective heat sink, absorbing the heat generated under heavy braking. This greatly reduces brake fade and provides consistently shorter stopping distances, especially from higher speeds.
Power Slot Plus Big Brake Systems feature:
Premium quality, larger diameter Power Slot brake rotor with Vac-U-Slot technology designed to evacuate gas and dust, shed heat and keep the brake pad surface cleaner
One-piece brake rotor with a two-piece "look"
100% bolt-on system
Relocates the factory brake caliper for increased braking effectiveness
Rotors are Cadmium plated to military specifications to protect against rust
No special brake pad sizes required - use an OE-sized high-performance pad (sold separately)
Power Slot Plus brake kits require the use of larger diameter wheels – check the dimensions of your wheels carefully before purchasing.

SportStop High Performance Brake Systems Stage 1 & Stage 2 Brake Upgrade Kits
SportStop Stage 1 Brake Upgrade Kits feature:
Street Performance Brake Pads for Front & Rear
StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines for Front & Rear
Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid
SportStop Stage 1 Brake Upgrade Kits are a low-cost, high-value step up from original equipment parts. Stainless steel brake lines improve pedal feel and reduce the time between applied pedal pressure and actual deceleration by reducing the expansion allowed by stock rubber flex lines. High-performance front and rear street pads provide greater resistance to fade, higher maximum operating temperature and better initial bite, to allow consistent deep braking into corners. Three bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid increase both wet and dry boiling points and virtually prevent boiling even under the most severe operating conditions.
SportStop Stage 1 Kits are good for street and autocross. They are not intended for extended track sessions.
SportStop Stage 2 Brake Upgrade Kits feature:
SportStop Stage 1 Brake Upgrade Kit
Stock-sized SportStop Rotors — available in slotted, drilled or drilled/slotted
SportStop Stage 2 Brake Upgrade Kits include everything in a Stage 1 Kit plus slotted, drilled or drilled/slotted stock-size SportStop rotors for both front and rear axles. Drilled rotors can look great behind a new set of custom wheels, while slotted rotors are more durable under severe use. Slotted or drilled rotors prevent glazing of the brake pads, increase effective coefficient of friction between the pads and rotors and improve wet and dry braking performance. SportStop rotor have a durable black coating on the non-swept areas of the rotor to prevent unsightly corrosion and quality is assured as the rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed all OE specifications.
SportStop Stage 2 Kits are good for street and autocross. They are not intended for extended track sessions.
