SOLD!!

I'm demodding my '08 for sale. The A&A t-trim kit, Pfadt inverted shocks and adjustable bars, DeWitts radiator, and oil cooler kit are all sold and shipped. Next up is this StopTech Big Brake Kit with ST60 6-piston calipers for the front, ST40 4-piston calipers for the rear, 14" slotted rotors all around, and DOT-legal braided stainless lines.

I bought the kit new and put about 6k miles on it. Look at the pad thickness! All parts have been thoroughly cleaned and are ready to bolt on to your car. I'm looking for $4500 including ground shipping (which will be *expensive*!) and PayPal fees. No trades, please.

PM me for high res pics if you want to see more detail. It's gotten too dark to shoot the rotors, so I'll post pics of them tomorrow. They are also in excellent shape!









I also have brand new Carbotech pads for these calipers that I'll sell separately or as a package deal.

Will the Stop Tech Big Brakes fit on stock C6 wheels? I don't think they will, but I thought I would ask.

Is it time for new wheels Keith? These are the brakes I use .

+1 for SWEET brakes and good luck on the sale

9secz

Nope. I mocked 'em up with stock C6 wheels before I got the Forgeys. Not a chance!

You guys are too funny! I got asked if I had the pad retainer bolts and if I'd ship the brakes assembled, and if the pads I showed in the first post were for these calipers. Yes to all!

damn which these were 15 fronts..

Is that extra inch of rotor diameter really worth $1500? (Or however much more a new 380/355 kit would run)

EDIT: I've changed the text and pics in this post because I snagged a package of 3" roloc disks at Sears last night. After an hour in the garage today, I'm satisfied with the rotor surface finish. Whatever pads you choose to run with this kit will bed in fast. I included the right angle die grinder and roloc disk in the lower pic in case you don't know what I'm talking about.

Looks great, how did you clean the calipers so well?

9secz

Thanks! They never got very dirty in the first place. I've never tracked the car, so the calipers never got hot enough for baked-on pad dust. Also, my normal driving technique is very easy on pads (as opposed to my wife, who will stay on the gas to within a few car lengths of a stop sign, then brake hard). Lastly, I'm kinda **** about car washing, so I regularly pull the wheels and clean the calipers with wheel cleaner and a disposable paint brush.

To get them this clean, I used the same wheel cleaner and paint brush, but had them off the car and disassembled.

will you sell the rear st40 stoptechs with no pads, are the rear rotors still good.

Guys, this is a complete kit in very nice condition. Calipers, rotors, pads, and lines have barely any wear and tear. I don't want to deal with parting it out. Just like my A&A t-trim blower kit and Pfadt inverted shocks and bars, somebody here is going to get good-as-new complete, ready to install kit for a grand less than new.

Update: I changed the pics in post #7 because I went over the rotors with the new 3" roloc disks I got at Sears last night. Now the rotor surface finish is set up for fast pad bedding.

If you looked at this thread yesterday or today, you'll probably have to reload the page to see the new pics. I included my die grinder in the new lower pic. If you don't see it, reload this page.

I got a couple of questions about rotor scuffing. I'm not removing much material at all. I doubt you would measure any before/after rotor thickness change with a micrometer. The roloc I used is for surface conditioning, not metal removal. It does not make sparks (or deep grooves!) like a grinding disk. It's essentially a Scotch Brite pad that can be easily attached to a die grinder. It just roughens up the surface a little so the pads can bed in quickly.

I wish i would have known that before i used elbow grease and a scotch brite pad

The other benefit to the roloc is that the surface texture is close to radial rather than following the circumference.

Note to self: Wear a respirator or at least a disposable mask next time. Dust in the sinuses resulted in a nasty allergic reaction as well as cajon blackened Kleenex.

I was asked about rotor wear. It's very close to zero. I don't know what tolerance StopTech applies to their 32 mm thickness spec, but these measure 31.9 mm. That suggests 0.004" of rotor wear, including whatever my scuffing took away. A piece of normal printer paper is .004" thick. Since the rotors wear on two faces, that's 1/2 the thickness of printer paper worth of wear on each face. Close to zero!

Hump day bumpus!

I can tell you that you do not need to ask a bunch of questions about the condition of these. I bought the Pfadt inverted shock and Street sway bars and they were in almost new condition. Just as stated. I'm sure whatever Jeff tells you will be what you can expect. If I didn't have Baer Eradispeeds installed you might not have seen these for sale . Bump for a great guy and good luck on the sale!

Which pads do you have from Carbotech and how much are you asking?

9secz

Thanks, MontereyRed! A pleasure doing business with you!

My Carbos are XP12 for the front (ST60) and XP10 for the rear (ST40). New from Carbotech is $433 plus shipping. I'll take $375 plus shipping. Remember that these pads are literally brand new. Only one pad of each size has ever been out of the shipping foam, and that was just for the pics.
