Brake discs STOPTECH or Detroit Axle
Reviews
I did two-piece stoptech rotors on my Viper. The solid rotors on those were 27lbs each wheel. The stoptech rotors are around 17.x lbs each. So I saved 10lbs per wheel, its a huge difference in rotating mass. I improve my MPG, not kidding and feels a lot more agile having lost that weight. The car isnt working as hard to rotate all 4 wheels!!!
Pros: significant weight saving, improved agility, better MPG
Vehicle:
Dodge Viper
Cryo Stoptech slotted rotors with Isweep 3000 short track pads front, Stoptech slotted rotors and Isweep 3000 pads rear, SS brake lines
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I used StopTech slotted rotors (not drilled and slotted) and semi-metallic pads on my 2006 Lexus GX470. Obviously I've changed the brake pads a few times but after 200K miles (yes, that many) my rotors are still in excellent shape. I will not buy anything else, ever
Pros: rotors still in shape
Vehicle:
Lexus
Mileage: 321869 km
I’ve replaced brakes 7 times on my 18 AWD GT2. The set I have on now have lasted me the longest (installed them in May and have driven 5k with them). I bought mine from K8StingerStore. Rotors are Stoptech Performance Premium Rotors
Pros: lasted longest, good performance
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 5000 km
Installed LHT S2000 Brake Package which are StopTech slotted rotors, Hawk 5.0 front pads, organic rear pads, Goodridge braided stainless steel brake lines, bleed, and flush brake system.
Pros: braided stainless steel lines
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
All brake discs are now StopTech Black series one-piece, no detriment to performance vs the ATE stock two-piece, the upside is no going orange on the bells or edges like the stock discs do, pads are still PFC Z-Rated and fluid is ATE Type200, no obvious fade for fast road use.
Pros: no obvious fade
Cons: no detriment to performance
Vehicle:
BMW
For brake discs and pads Stoptech has worked well under both my Expedition and also another Ford vehicle.
Pros: worked well
Vehicle:
Ford Expedition
I have used StopTech a few times with no issues.
Pros: no issues
I have Stoptech rotors and EBC Yellow stuff pads. I like the feel, the dust not so much.
Pros: good feel
Cons: lots of dust
I had the Detroit axel rotors on my fronts for a while and they were just a little too small and caused the pads to squeak after a while from uneven wear since part of the pad didn\u2019t hit the rotor due to it being a couple millimeters too small.
Pros: null
Cons: too small, caused squeaking
