    Tell me why you want large 4-piston Brembo/StopTech/SRT *REAR* calipers?

    Lots of Info Here It's been a while since I've posted, it seems other daily tasks here keep me away from the front lines... Let me first start by saying "I'm not a brake engineer, but I play one at work every day." That being said, I do interact each day w/ Steve Ruiz, our Engineering...

    Stoptech brake problem

    Likely StopTech Issue Jeff- First off, my apologies for not responding more quickly to your e-mails. I could go into all the things that have blind sided me over the past few working days, but none should have prevented at least an acknowledgement. Not how we usually handle our Customer...

    BIG BRAKE KITS CHOICES

    This will be a pretty one-sided opinion, but I'll try and be as fair as possible. First off, what type of driving will you be doing? Track only, street only, combination? Also, are you looking for a 2 or 4 wheel kit? What size wheels are you running? Are the Brembo's on the car the stock...

    TERRIBLE NEWS - PAUL MUMFORD - PLANE CRASH?

    Thanks for the small time we spent together- The first time I ever heard of this guy "Mumford" was reading posts between him and Ken Adelberg in an adolescent teardown of each other’s driving talent and manliness. It took a bit of time before I met them both and realized they were playing out...

    mumford first at laguna seca world challenge race

    Way to stir things up Paul! I was at the track Friday and Saturday and have to say Paul was driving way smooth and obviously fast. The neat deal was, he didn't really "look" fast in terms of hanging it out and aggressively attacking the track, just fast like Buttah! He was also the most low...

    Apex & StopTech - Car & Driver Results

    Jim- A bit of clarification. We do not state caliper pistons are "interchangeable", we state they are sized specifically for each platform. ST-40 is the designation we use for all our 4-piston calipers regardless of piston sizes. If interchangeable is stated, let me know where it appears on...

    Apex & StopTech - Car & Driver Results

    SoCal- We asked the photographer at the Open Track Challance for pix of your car, but he said he didn't have a camera with a fast enough shutter speed to get a non-blurry image! He also said all the shots only showed the back half of the car as he couldn't pan fast enough... so we had to use...

    Apex & StopTech - Car & Driver Results

    Actually, the $5995 is a bit misleading. The price of a 4-wheel big brake kit is $4995. We use the stock rear caliper from a 1992-2000 Viper as the parking brake caliper for all model years. If the vehicle is a 2001+ model (ABS equipped), earlier rear calipers must be supplied. As we can not...

    We just rec'd a faxed copy of the Car & Driver "Supercar Challenge" article. The Apex Lethal 750 Viper got great marks for their horsepower and drivability. They also kicked every front engine car, and most of the others in the place with their braking! "Apex upgraded the brakes with a...

    HELP!!! STOPTECH AERO ROTOR RUST???

    The rust you are seeing is normal for any rotor and is in no way a safety or durability concern. The factory Viper rotors are coated with a silver finish called Dacrament (sic?). We have tried to source this coating, but it is cost prohibitive for our volumes compared to what an OE would...

    14" Stoptech on 17" wheels?

    Re: 14\" Stoptech on 17\" wheels? The StopTech 14" front brake setup will not fit the stock 17" Viper front wheel. There may be a 17" aftermarket wheel that will fit the kit, but we are not aware of one to date. Wheel fitment is one of our biggest challenges. We have detailed drawings of...

    Why do we have such bad brakes?

    Dave, While StopTech does not expect you to endorse our products we wish you would get the facts right if you are going to make such strong statements. <<I have to disagree regarding the prop-valve! I’m not a proponent of prop-valves but I’m not scared of them either. On most cars the...

    Why do we have such bad brakes?

    Maybe the question to be asked is “Can an American engineered, designed and manufactured product using a small portion of foreign content materials possibly compete with Italian and German companies?” We believe American engineered and manufactured products can compete with anyone. Lets get the...

    Brakes upgrade question

    As there are many different levels of driving, there are many different levels of upgrades, not only for brakes, but for every system on a car. Being involved in the brake world, I'll give my opinion on brakes and those other modifications that directly effect brake performance. The first...
