Default Stop Tech Big Brakes

Just got the Stop Tech big brake kit, front and rear. It is the nicest brake package I have ever seen. Should help stopping performance quite a bit!

Who else on this forum is using this kit?

Got them on mine and love them!!! It's amazing how you have to learn to drive the car all over again. You barely touch the pedal and car stops NOW! Lot's of fun in the twisty's above my house..

350ZMotorsports,
Thanks for the nice comments. It always makes me happy to have another satisfied customer. Just make sure to bed those pads in properly per the directions that came with the kit! Have fun with them, and be safe.

I only have the fronts and absolutely love them. Hopefully StopTech will release a "rear kit upgrade" for those of us with just fronts. *hint*

I have seen drawings, and I have had discussions with our GM and chief engineer. Trust me, I have our 332 kit on my car...so I have a personal interest in this one. I have absolutely no details on this one, so don't ask. All I will say is that we are exploring possibilities. If it can be produced and makes sense to us from a business perspective, we will do it. I know that you may think that is a generic answer, but it's the truth. There are a lot of variables involved.

How come all of you just think about Stoptech brakes? there's many other brands out there such as Endless, why not choose that? the quality of it is awesome.

Who said that's all they think about? Can you read their minds or something? I bet they considered other brands before making a final decision.

Endless isn't exactly priced well. For the money STOPTECH's are "awesome" and so is the quality.

I know you guys are still considering it. Just want you to know there is still interest and potential customers.

I went with StopTech because of the countless customers who praised their brake kits. And I second what John said about the customer service- very responsive and customer friendly.

I can assure you that the quality of our kits is second to none...we have the strongest calipers, our rotors have the best cooling and metallurgy, our hats are trick, and we do the testing nobody else bothers to do. As others have noted, we go out of our way to make sure our customers are happy...every time. Can you pick up the phone and talk to someone sitting at the manufacturing facility at Endless who can answer your technical questions, or help you choose the best product for your car? To be honest, our product sells itself, which makes my job a lot easier. If you go out on a road course and try them out, you'll understand why everyone raves about them. They are developed and tested for each vehicle, and it shows in their performance. Every single day I have passionate enthusiasts tell me how much they love our product. It's great to see that enjoyment.

I know you guys are still considering it. Just want you to know there is still interest and potential customers.
That's a good thing...as I've said before, the more people that ask, the more it reminds us of the need!

failsafe, when are you going to Thunderhill? I'm thinking about doing the Speedventures event on Feb. 7 and 8. I can't wait to get out there again.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I wish I had known. Do they do track events on a regular basis? Please keep me in the loop. I will come out, answer questions, bring some catalogs, some Motul, maybe a giveaway or two for raffle (pads, a discount on a kit, shirt, etc). I won't mind driving either!

We do have Blue!!! Here is a pic. It's a very nice blue...sort of like the factory blue on the Z. It's a little more expense ($100 per caliper), and it takes about 1 month lead time. It's pretty cool, and not many people have them (relatively speaking). We also do silver and yellow. Silver is a no charge option, and yellow is also +$100 per caliper. They both take about a month to get as well.
