I have run StopTechs on my WRX, RX8, EVO, M3, and I have a 4 wheel kit coming in for the 996.

Suggestion
I will have a video of my 996 on the track and for road racers when you REALLY drive your car you will see what happens to brakes when you run stock lines, stock fluid, and stock pads.
Leading evidence: 'Run stoptechs' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run stock lines, stock fluid, and stock pads' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
We are one of StopTechs biggest supportors and use their product on the street track.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Anyone have any personal experience with them? Weight v. brembo v. stock? They seem to have some superior aspects over the brembos, esp. with the stiffening bridge which actually does make a difference in race cars (made one for the McLaren).
They seem to be a better alternative at a more reasonable cost as well, any ideas?
I had StopTechs on my M3 track car. AWESOME! That's all I can say. VERY easy to change out pads. Much easier than Porsche / brembos, IMO. Also, their rotors wear like diamond! After 2 track weekends with very aggressive pads, nothing. If they are cheaper...I recommend them.
Chad
Cool-
Yes they are in fact cheaper. The cool thing is that it appears that pagid makes compounds for their backing plates also. So if I can get a yellow compound for them I would be in business, anyone with any other personal Porsche experiences with them?
Their reputation is very good and I would use them if they were cheaper. As far as their performance or weight I don't think there is enough informaion out there to make a fair comparison.
yeah it would be pretty cool to know what the differences are because as I understand the weight is the issue- i.e. mk1 gt3 brakes v. brembo grand turismo or whatever the regular kit is detracts because of the increased unspring weight v. the lightweight kit which is about the same as stock if not lighter
Too bad the gt3rs brakes are sooo expensive and consumable- titanium is nice and light!
I have run StopTechs on my WRX, RX8, EVO, M3, and I have a 4 wheel kit coming in for the 996. There engineering and components are top shelf. Just look at the Turner Motorsports champion BMW!!!
The rotors, lines, calipers are all awesome as well as their selection of pads. I will be installing the 4 wheel kit and will post pics when it is on. I ordered the yellow calipers!!!
Here is some pricing reference

These are not solicitations...Let me post some pics of our cars with the Stoptech kits. We are one of StopTechs biggest supportors and use their product on the street track. We can talk all day about braking and how the product works as we use them. That was the posts initial question. Sorry if I offended you directly.
As far as Stoptech and their engineering...If you look at their kits, the shootouts that have been done in comparison to Brembo and Rotora (the other 2 big brake manufacturers) you will see StopTech usually comes out ahead. You will always have name bias with Brembo, great product but StopTech for the money is right there.
I will have a video of my 996 on the track and for road racers when you REALLY drive your car you will see what happens to brakes when you run stock lines, stock fluid, and stock pads. Should be posted tomorrow.

I have already done all that research. You do directly solicit people in your post and it bugs. I don't come one the boards to be annoyed. You have been warned of this this very same issue before. If you want to contribute fine, just keep it at that.
Again I apologize... and actually I have never warned about anything... You asked about StopTech. Like I said. I have raced in 5 different cars for over 2 years on StopTechs. Just cause the username is a company does not mean I dont have personal opinions too...
I am all smiles here
We were advertising them here since we are a sponsor.
Enough said here...have a great night. Dont want to start any problems. If you want a great comparison of the brake kits...Call Bob Lee at StopTech and then call Jaime Trimble at Brembo. Both our friends and can give you the low down on a tech side.
