Hey guys need some assistance, I've check multiple threads but there's nothing recent. I need to replace my brakes n rotors and wanted to know if anyone has bought powerstop or stoptech brake n rotor kit recently n could chime in. I dont track but like most I'm always moving. Thanks in advance

 

I moved you to the Brakes and Suspension forum where you'll find reams of data about Stoptech parts.

 

Thanks, I've also search through on that thread but nothing recent with those brands

 

I have stop tech rotors and pads front and rear and they are great for daily driving. I don’t have any issues and when I do sprints at night they brake really well without a issue. Been using it for 20k miles and no issues.

 

Great to hear, I found a full kit for 300 out the door from autoanything. Check it.

Do you have the BBK or just regular ones?

 

regular

 

Yea it will do you well, make sure to put some grease on the corners of the brake pads and flush the brake fluid

 

The flush is a must, doing some maintenance on the car so yea.

 

There are two versions of the Stoptech pads, the Street Pads & Sport Pads. I like the Sport pads for their added bite, but they do dust quite a bit. IMO the dusting is the price to pay for better performance, but if you have wheels that are a real PITA to clean you might consider the Street pads, they don't dust much and don't require the aggressive bed-in of the Sport pads but they perform closer to OEM. Check rockauto.com too if you haven't clicked the buy button yet

 

Do you think there's any better deals right now, buying no later than next week so I'm still searching.

 

Looks to be a nice deal, especially when you factor in the free shipping. Amazon has it for about the same w/ free ship ($299.81)

I was thinking about painting the center hub of the rotors to prevent rusting, any thoughts on that??

 

They have a third pad now (technically three if you count their racing pads) they call Street Select so make sure you get the right one. "Street Select Front Brake Pads by StopTech®. StopTech is proud to announce the release of its Street Select friction program. Using a single part number family, the Street Select friction program contains both Semi-Metallic and Ceramic application-specific formulations. Street Select brake pads are positioned just below StopTech’s Street and Sport pads in friction coefficient and wear."

Whereas the Street pads: StopTech Street Performance brake Pads are engineered to meet the demands of high performance driving while maintaining the refinement and comfort expected in everyday driving conditions. StopTech brake pads combine the benefits of premium street brake pads with aggressive friction formulas suitable for track day and autocross use. Para-aramid composites are specially formulated to provide linear response at both cold and hot temperatures, delivering optimum stopping performance over a wide range of driving conditions."

I had to replace my rears and found a deal on Street pads on Amazon. They had a "Used - Like New" in the original box and still wrapped (someone must have bought the wrong ones and returned them) for ~$18

 

That's what I've done, use VHT Flameproof paint, and if you want the slots to show up better you can mask off the area on the rotor that scrubs the pads but leave the slots unmasked then paint over the whole rotor. And leave about a 1/4" into the scrub area unmasked so you'll get a clean cut line when you first bed in the pads.
