Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had anything to do with Stoptech brakes?

So fat I've heard nothing but good things about them, but wanted to know if anyone has had any first hand experience, in particular with the ST40 calipers?

I'm tossing up a lot of options at the moment, including Evo Brembo's, Stoptechs, F40's, 324mm conversion... or just going with what I have and seeing how I go.

Cheers

Dane

It most likely would be, but the price people ask for them is crazy. I'm not paying over $1500 for a set of second hand calipers when you can buy some nice 4 pot AP's for the same money. :)

GT-R brembo's - $1500

DBA5000 or equivalent discs - $1000

Braided lines - $200

Pads - $300

I can buy Stoptechs brand new for less than that.

Amec from Brissie is running them in his 300ZX track car. In a drunken stoopa one night i purchased some Greddy 6 pot 330mm setup after reading they were more compact then the Brembo F40/50 caliper. Guess what? They are the same width so still have wheel clearance problems :ermm: Fark having a lowly GTST and trying to run decent brakes. :D Since i am waiting for my OS work visa doesnt look like my car will be needing brakes anytime soon so may could be convinced to not install them on my car :(

There was a big thread on here about them, people seem to be giving them decent reviews.

Would be good to hear what you think of them.

OK, another question: Who has used the Project Mu 4 piston forged calipers? I love my project mu pads and rotors, so am keen on trying this kit too and have found it's not too pricey from the states. About the same price as the stoptechs, a few hundred more.

This is the kit: http://www.project-mu.co.jp/e/product/caliper_R4-4.html

Wouldn't mind this with the 355mm rotors, but 345's would probably be more sensible for 17's :D

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
