Default Stoptech 355 4 Wheel Kit Installed

Just wanted to let you guys know that I had a chance to install my Stoptech kit, took 4 hours from start to finish and is a piece of cake. You have to cut the rear dust shield off and its direct bolt on from there.

This is now my second car with the four wheel Stoptech package and to date is the best mod I have for any of my cars...

For more information on this kit visit www.stoptech.com

Thanks to Bob Lee who is always there to take care of me..

This is the 355 front and 355 rear kit with Ebrake and cad coated slotted rotors...












I am running 19" Volk GT7 and they have plenty of clearence. The back is pretty close though, even with that massive lip they clear...

Looks incredible...I'm sure the stopping power will be as well. How often do you anticipate replacing your rotors?

OMG! That is massive, starting to look like Wicked4u2C's cars.

He also has the gunmetal GT-7's and huge brakes with red rotors.

Looks to me like you have a rear brake problem. Look at the nice even discoloration on the front disc where the pad is makeing even contact all the way around. Now look at the rear disc where only the outside edge of the disc looks like it has been touched by the pad???? Otherwise, SWEET!

The brakes were only on for half a day in that picture what you see is not a brake problem it is the cad friction material wearing off...once it is removed I can do the bed in procedure.

I have seen the other black Z with Volks and the Rotora setup, one thing to keep in mind is that the stoptech kit uses huge pistons where the 6 pot rotoras use three small pistons...overall the piston surface diameter is larger.

Thanks for the compliments,

I will take pictures of the Zex wet kit install and Full audio setup when they are done...

congrads!!
those look so hot it makes me all wet down there. I had a set of StopTech fronts on my WRX and I loved them. As soon as i saw that they were available in a front and rear package i was all over them. One of the only brake setups on the market that give equal braking front to rear. Love mine!!

Yes I got it directly from Stoptech, the stick on the back window is for Speedquest, the shop that does all of my work. If you purchase this months Modified Magazine, you will see a 5 page feature on one of the shop cars a Brown Turbo Civic hatch. The article is called what Brown can do for you. Speedquest is a combination of a tuner shop in Cali and one of the top tuners from Drivers Image. The created Speedquest. Keep in mind that the Stoptech kit isnt just rotors, they are fully balanced, complete brake kits, with mounting brackets, pads, calipers etc....
