Stainless lines replace old and worn original rubber lines for better pedal feel and performance. Brake lines are model specific so they have the correct fittings and length for each BMW chassis. And there is also a wide range of race/track pads available for StopTech calipers.Įach StopTech Kit comes with two stainless brake lines (enough for one axle). Less-aggressive pads are also available for daily-driver street use. These pads are designed as an "aggressive" street compound with excellent initial bite, moderate torque, and low-moderate dust levels. StopTech Big Brake Kits come standard with a set of Sport pads. Rotors are offered as either slotted or cross-drilled and as bare cast iron or with an anti-corrosion zinc coating. The internal cooling vanes are specially shaped to to flow more efficiently. Aerorotors flow more air and stay cooler than other Big Brake Kit rotors. StopTech rotors are so packed with innovations that they patented the design. StopTech calipers come in blue, black, silver,red, or yellow colors. Less flex also means faster braking response and more even pad wear.

A stiffer caliper gives the driver more confidence by reducing flex, vibration, and noise. StopTech two-piece calipers are stiffer than even some monoblock caliper designs. StopTech calipers are renowned in the industry as being the most rigid. By varying piston sizes, StopTech engineers can set the proper brake distribution for maximum traction at all four tires. This is the key to the Balanced Brake Upgrade(R) design. Internal pistons are sized for each BMW chassis and intended use.
StopTech produces 2-piston, 4-piston, and 6-piston calipers for BMW applications. StopTech BMW Big Brake Kit In Detail What components make up a Big Brake Kit? On this page you will find specific information on StopTech Brakes for your BMW, including wheel fitment guides. Every StopTech Big Brake Kit employs this Balanced Brake Upgrade(R). Balancing brake distribution so that all four tires are doing the stopping is hugely beneficial to stopping performance. Too much braking torque from a poorly-designed system, or re-purposing off-the-shelf parts, could produce sub-optimal results, such as too much distribution to the front axle (or too little). StopTech engineers evaluate each BMW model's hydraulic system, brake master cylinder size, weight transfer under braking, tire contact patch, and other factors to properly proportion braking torque. A true measured and engineered design for each BMW chassis was the only way to properly advance braking technology. The company was founded on the belief that the off-the-shelf, "parts bin" approach to BMW brake upgrades rarely gave the the best performance results. Since their beginnings in 1999, StopTech has developed BMW-specific balanced brake upgrades. StopTech is an enthusiast-driven manufacturer of BMW Big Brake Kits and other performance braking components.
