StopTech Big Brake Kit
Hey everyone!
We just wrapped this StopTech BBK install up over the weekend. How does 6 piston calipers on 15 inch rotors in the front sound? What about 4 pistons on a 14 inch rotor in the back? This car will have no problem stopping StopTech has always made a great product paying special attention to details. These bad boys went on without any problems and finished perfectly. The pictures speak for themselves. This is a beautiful kit, performs great, and we are currently running an overstock special on them here! Check the install pics out and let us know what you think! |

Waiting for a PM for full kit.
I see in the picture that the front backing plate is being cut up, why is this necessary if the rotors are 355mm (14") the same size as stock? Different rotor offset? Anyone tried the calipers with 18" wheels? I'll be using the 18" wheels with race tires in the spring, if Forgestar delivers by then that is. |

In the picture, Kerry is actually trimming the rear dust shields. They will interfere with the rear rotor if they remained.
