StopTech Big Brake Kit Rear Chevy Camaro 10-11.
Big Brake Kits give your ride that Supercar look and feel, and exceed stock performance in two areas. First, the larger rotors increase heat capacity. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance.
The key, however, is to increase heat capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting the stock front to rear brake torque ratio. If the brake upgrades you select adds too much front torque (as many do), you reduce your car's ability to utilize the traction capacity of all of the tires to the maximum practical extent (even on ABS equipped cars) and you therefore create performance sacrifices. In addition, too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult to modulate, which limits a driver's control of brake input on the race track.
StopTech has incorporated several design innovations to improve rotor airflow, cooling and heat capacity. The ability to absorb and dissipate heat is essential to braking system performance. The benefits of improved air flow are less fade, longer rotor and pad life and better performance.
Stiffer calipers mean better performance and feel. The benefits of stiffer calipers are better performance with less vibration, noise and pad taper, better pedal feel under extreme braking conditions and no radical pad taper.
The calipers are fully forged for optimal strength and light weight. All caliper finish machining (such as piston bores sized correctly for the application) and assembly/testing is done in their Southern California facility. StopTech tests every single finished caliper to 2800 psi using brake fluid on a special test bench designed by StopTech engineers.
AeroRotors are made using StopTech's patented vane design and their proprietary cast iron formula, which was specified with durability in mind. StopTech has had several sets of rotors run entire 24 hour races on winning cars. StopTech did extensive testing before settling on their final top-secret formula.
Hats and brackets are made with a special type of billet aluminum that was designed for the AeroSpace industry in the United States.
StopTech makes their own stainless steel brake lines. StopTech is a DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) registered supplier of Stainless Steel Brake Lines. Line material and fittings are all made from the highest quality parts available. Lines feature a clear abrasion-resistant cover for maximum protection against chaffing. StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Line are tested to a pressure of 4,500 PSI.
