Euroteck or Stoptech rotors

[sambo32]

Looking to buy a set, which brand would you suggest.
Which one is more durable for track use.

I really like my Eurotecks.
No problems even though they are crossdrilled...
Haven't heard of any one else with problems either.

Not that there's anything wrong with the Stoptechs.

But

For the sake of comparison. Say the performance were the same...
The Eurotechs win hands down in the "looks" comparison...IMO

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

I've been tracking slotted Stoptech for ten years. I have no reason to switch.

 

[Tom Shapiro]

Agree with Chuck

I have both and can compare side by side...the stoptechs have a dull paint appearance while the Eurotechs a natural aluminum look.... so if you are looking to dress-up the area between the wheels,the Eurotechs shine....

I can only comment that Neil at Eurotek is great to work with. Some of the best customer service I have ever received!

Euroteck here.

Or quoting what bottlefed says about my car, just another one of my stupid poser mods!

Gee Dave you go all the way out - even matching color coded lift jacks...don't tell me you have four in the same color... Lol..

From a performance stand point, you will not see a difference between the two. It really comes down to which you like better in terms of looks. Both are excellent on the track. Our slotted just looked a lot cleaner then the stoptech ones, and then we also offer the drilled and slotted which stoptech does not. Ours also come standard with zinc plated rotors. Stoptech charges more for that. Both are great rotors...

I've tracked my car a few times with the Euroteck slotted rotors. No complaints here. I think they look better than the Stoptechs do.

Would not buy drilled rotors for the track.....for the street and cruising, they look great. Seen too many drilled rotors crack at the drilled "holes" in track situations.

Wonder how they compare price wise - anyone know?

From the pictures posted by dave6666, the Eurotech rotor rings appear identical to the Stoptech rotor rings while the hats of course are different. Is it possible that the rotor "rings" are from the same supplier?

SRT-Team Viper chose StopTech for the 08-09 ACR and the VCC, with a Brembo option for VCC. Slots of course, for track users. They are light, Aero-vane cool-running, with excellent durability. Replacement rotor rings are reasonably priced!

I asked the NARRA-Viper Days tech inspector last month if he had EVER SEEN a set of that other brand on a VRL-NARRA track car, and he stated "no".....He was not aware of the brand or any users in NARRA/Viper days. He had seen StopTech rotors on many, many cars, in most SESSIONS.

I may be a bit biased because we sell a lot of them, but the 'educated bias' comes from personal experience in many years of tracking and using StopTech. I would certainly like to hear from any heavy track users of either Brand.....any rotor can do 1-2 track days / year with average results. But there are Thousands of heavy track users on StopTech...Viper, BMW, Audi, Vette, and many class-champions in their stable. Can the OB claim any class champs on track? Car Shows FOR SURE ! They are indeed pretty. I do agree the OB is prettier. But so are Baers!

Since you, DJ, a VCA regional prez asked prices here, StopTechs are well under $1600/4 to VCA. Replacement rotor rings are not expensive. But car-show guys can also choose **** slotted/drilled/plated Baers for under $1100/set VCA.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Either system is good but go with slotted only. Stoptech is real popular at Viper Days. The right brake pads are just as important.

 

[VicTxV10]

Euroteck..for the looks. I do not track my car.

 

[wallbanger]

stoptech for the looks . i prefer the blacked out center against the chrome

 

[VicTxV10]

This is going to turn into a Coke or Pepsi thread. I would say get which ever you like. OP-Either one in slotted would be great for the track.

Ain't that the truth.

I don't think anyone will argue that StopTech has a reputation based on years of racing history. I'll add to that in my best guess that StopTech has been in business longer than Euroteck. Probably more $sponsorships$ and $contingency$ over that longer history that StopTech has. Helps make a name sturdy in the pits and on the forums don't it?. But just because they have a name, does not mean that Euroteck is not just as adequate.

If you think that Euroteck are not as good as StopTech, state some cases of failure. Post some links.



Yeah, Coke... Pepsi...



I went with the looks of the Euroteck over the StopTech. Because I'm not gullible enough to buy the PR BS over just some racing stories.

An interesting phenomena for sure Art. Yup, I needed 2 (two) floor jacks, so I bought them at the same time at the same place with the same part number and description. And they freakin' match! Isn't that wild???

And guess what? The tires that I have match too front to front, rear to rear! Rims? Oh yeah baby! DNA central as you gaze around the GTS! Heck, even my shoes match!

Freakin' unbelievable!!!

And while your changing the rotors, do the StopTech stainless brake lines upgrade regardless of your rotor choice.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Coke cans and bottles are better than Pepsi cans and bottles.

Fountain Coke and Pepsi are very close with the edge maybe going to Pepsi.

I find myself having dirty dreams of Euroteck slotted/drilled rotors. Does that make me a Viper pervert?

Just a pervert.

 

[GTSnake]

If they're very comparable performance wise, how do they compare in terms of price?

 

[Malu59RT]

Just a pervert.

Your Viper won't know what I'm doing to it, the next time I see those rotors

 

[OKFireChief]

Had Euroteck for 3 years now on my 06 coupe. Two years of Viper Days and local track events. Have performance friction pads on front and brakeman 3's on the rear (installed by Archer at Viper days) ...

The Eurotecks are awesome! Stop well, look great. Be safe out there folks!

 

[dave6666]

Your Viper won't know what I'm doing to it, the next time I see those rotors

Check list for once you get them off and to the casa:

-> Notice they are all SRT fronts; Gen 2 Big Brake Kit

-> Multiple ***'s. Try harmonizing them with your cat.

-> Get wheel well detail bucket and brushes ready for the return installation...

That is a common side effect.... However if it persists for more then 3 months we recommenced you seek professional help!
