Default Stop-Tech Big Brake Kit....

Checkout the Stop-Tech big brake kit. 14" rotors, 4 piston calipers. Look in the Sept 2002 Car & Driver mag ...article entitles "Shedding Light on Fading Brakes" They were tested against Alcon, Brembo and Prodrive. A quote from the C&D article "The StopTech is the least expensive kit, yet it performed as well as the others. It had the shortest average stopping distance in the 90-mph fade test — 297 feet — and at 187, was only two feet behind the Brembo F50's 185-foot average in stopping from 70 mph." The Brembo F50's cost almost twice as much!!! And the calipers come in RED. http://www.stoptech.com The link to the C&D article is : http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caran...st.xml?&page=1

Impressive, no doubt, but I'd still rather have the Brembos, just because.

Installed a set this past week. Very pleased with fit and finish. Cleared our XMS wheels. Looks great also
