Default PLEASE POST PICS: STOP TECH 14" vs 13"

Im trying to see how the Stop Tech BBK looks in 14" vs 13" with my 19" wheels. Any pics would be appreciated so I can see how much more the 14's fill up the space.

Thanks in advance.....and by the way I did try searching for this already.

You should have looked harder. I think there are more pics of the 14" kit, but I know there are some of the 13" kit. Here is my 14" kit:

King Tut: beautiful set-up

As mentioned, I did look at lots of Stop-Tech pics but its hard to tell which are the 13 kit and which are 14, hence this thread.

Thanks for the pics guys! Keep 'em coming!!

Im not sure, but can someone give us the size of the stock oem caliper. It may be better to compare the 13" to the stock caliper, then take the pics of the 14's and compare it to the stock. Hope this helps.

Huh??

No thats not what Im after with this. I wanna see how much more the 14's fill up the space in a 19" wheel compared to the 13" BBK.

Now then, lets stay on track and focused!

Now stay with me on this..I dont want to loose you ok? If we can figure how much difference there are in the OEMs and 13" then you can find someone with stock OEM rotors on a 19" wheel and compare it to the pics with the 14's and see how much gap there is..Whew!! i didnt realize i was confusing people..

Jebus! I just want a side by side visual comparison.

And in this corner we have the 19" wheel with a 13" Stop-Tech BBK. While in this corner we have the 19" wheel with a 14" Stop-Tech BBK.

Simple.....Get it?!

Awwww thanks dude.....it really doesnt help but I do appreciate the effort! I wasnt mad. Maybe a little frustrated. Actually when I saw that you had posted another reply I thought it was going to get ugly.

Thanks again for the "help".

By the way, be safe if youre still over there in Iraq.

I put the two pics provided together. I think it shows the difference quite well. Also remember the 13" Stoptech kit comes with a smaller lighter caliper in the rear that is much different from the front.

Just a quick note that the 14" kit is truly a show piece and yes it does perform in braking, but if you want to track the car or put smaller rims on for any reason, you will be in trouble. Also the larger rotors add additional unsprung weight to the car and actually hinder performance moreso than the 13" kit. I was happy with the 13'" kit because it:

1. Filled the gap much more so than stock
2. Provided dramatic improvement in braking performance
3. Still allows a 17" rim on the car for tracking, winter tires, drag setup etc...
4. Cheaper than 14" kit

If it is only for looks then this information is not for you. Just an FYI
