Rotora 6 pot 14" , Stoptech 4 pot 14" , or AP 6pot 14.25"?

I think the rotora and AP are instock and I could have them in a week. The Stoptech are on back order and take roughly a month. I am not a heavy tracker, just want a NICE set of brakes that are worth the money and look good and stop good. All are relatively the same price where I am getting them so factor out price. which is the set to get?

 

I would go with whichever has the largest pad selection available, for the type of driving you plan on doing.

Another thing to consider is the cost and availability of rotors. You won't be replacing them very often, but when you do, it'll be nice to have affordable options.

Support from the manufacturer will be something else to consider.

All of the kits that you mentioned seem to be well-made, but if it were me, I would wait the extra month and go with the StopTech.

 

Rotora 6 pot 14"

 

What about Willwood?

Sounds like Rotora would be the best option given your ... um ... needs

Rotora looks the best IMO and I'm sure their performance isn't too shabby.

Plus for bragging rights, it's much better-sounding when you tell the average joe on the street "yeah they're 6 pot" .

 

How bout these? I like the color...

 

Endless has performance & bragging rights as they're probably the most expensive BBK you can get next to Project Mus...

 

endless is more than mu i think. and plus they have better colors and look better!

 

on endless...
having those you'll be revered as the brake god
but f/r kit will probably run u 10,000 dollars

 

The baller and bragging rights thing is a little sarcasm. I might be interested in wilwood, but my supplier only has access to the three I mentioned. So, endless, mu, TK, etc are not to be considered.

The two that people say are the best are the stoptech and the AP. The AP are readily available so that is why I am kind of leaning towards them. The Rotora have a custom color called signal blue that looks to be VERY similar to DB and might make for an awesome setup.

 

if you want to go with Rotora, PM me. I can hook you up for VERY good price.

My car is DB and using Rotora Blue 6pots now.

 

endlessssssssssssss!+1

 

Guys seriously, stop saying Endless lol. He said he won't consider them.

I say go with AP, I've heard pretty good things about them, the VRT guys use them on the track and do pretty well...

 

I would take AP Racing 14.25" 6pot over the Stop techs. One of the VRT guys mentioned burned out someone's Stop tech brakes while the AP Racing brakes they use had no such issue.

 

Can you clarify what you mean by "burned out"? If its a pad issue, the car was not on track pads or pads which were quite worn and had limmited heat capaciy which would be an issue with any brake kit stock or otherwise. Our kits are used in racing applications like Grand Am cup by the Unitech Playboy Racing 350Z and in World Challenge by Turner Motorsports and Tri Point racing who have each won a race this season so far (theres only been 2 races) with identical kits to those we sell to the public.

 

both the AP and Stoptech are excellent units - we've used them both. I run AP, Kwame will be running Stoptech

MUCH MUCH better feel than the Rotora, which by comparison have no where near the bite - part of it is how the pistons are done on each, part of it is the pad they supply. AP comes with either Ferrodo or Mintex, Stoptech with Axxis as I recall - both good pads for general use. You also have a much wider array of pad options for the AP and Stoptech's vs Rotora.

I'm showing 1 set of the red Stoptech's available and one in black in the 332mm x 32mm rotors as being available - AP can easily supply as well

 

+1 for Z1

 

here is a shot of my 4 piston AP's they work and look great.

 

It was on Eagle1's G53 Coupe. His car is pretty heavy and has over 500whp so he has considerable speed going into braking zones and alot of car to stop in that braking zone. It happened at California Speedway on the infield course, which is pretty hard on brakes. He did have good pads, fluid, and everything else. I was supprised that the StopTechs went out as well. You can see him go off the turn on VRT's new video. Go to www.ViolentRacing.com and click on "Watch our new video now." It happens a little after halfway through the video.

Zivman - Keep in mind that adding a BBK will not give you better stopping distance, just more protection against over heating them. So basically you are just buying looks.

 

+1. Most of the time.
