Pics first!

Rear Right with Z1 10mm spacer and extended studs.

Now for some numbers.


Weight

Please keep in mind that my OEM rotors have around 17K of use which includes more than a few track and autocross days.
Also they have been resurfaced once.

(Edit: all weights are individual weights so X2 for total savings)

OEM SP Front Calipers 11.6 lbs
Stoptech Front Calipers 8 lbs

OEM SP Front Rotors 30 lbs
StopTech Front Rotors 18.8 lbs

OEM SP Rear Calipers 7.4 lbs
StopTech Rear Calipers 5.9 lbs

OEM SP Rear Rotors 20 lbs
StopTech Rear Rotors 20.5 lbs

Why the StopTech Rear Rotors weigh more than the OEM.



Also the hat on the StopTech rear rotor has more metal for the parking brake that's why the rear weighs more than the front.


Calipers Piston Sizes

OEM SP Front 38mm 40mm
StopTech Front 40mm 44mm

OEM SP Rear 37mm
StopTech Rear 28mm 30mm

The StopTech calipers will flex less and be more consistent.
Also the StopTech calipers are lighter and have bigger pistons.


While my StopTech BBK was being installed also installed MotorDyne ARTs and M370.





I'll be at ZDayZ this year if any of you want to check out my setup.

Enjoy!
