Why Upgrade your Brakes?
Big brakes give your car greater resistance to fade by absorbing and
shedding heat more efficiently. Racers upgrade because stock brakes were
designed for a single stop from high speed, not repeated slow-downs with little
time in between to cool off. For fade resistance, size really does matter.
On the street, fixed-mount, multi-piston calipers give a firmer pedal and
quicker reaction time in panic stops. As little as 0.2 second reduction in
reaction time can translate into 21 feet of stopping distance at 70 mph.
Reaction time is not as important to racers who can compensate by braking
earlier. But on the street, in an unexpected stop, quicker reaction time
can save your life. You don't need to be a racer to benefit from brake
upgrades.
If you track or autocross
your car regularly, your stock brakes are probably not up to the task.
You can start off with better brake fluid, more aggressive brake pads, cooling
ducts, and stainless braided brake lines. But as you
progress from novice to intermediate skill level and beyond, carrying more
speed into the braking zones, your track events will become characterized by
boiling brake fluid, sinking brake pedal, and pad fade. Losing confidence in your brakes
takes the fun out of a track event. Big brake upgrades allow you to dive deeper into the braking zone and
brake harder than you ever thought possible.

Big Brake Kits |
StopTech big brake kits
are designed for each vehicle with optimum front-to-rear brake torque balance, resulting in
the shortest possible stopping distance of any aftermarket brake upgrade and total compatibility with ABS and electronic stability control. The fixed-mount, multi-piston calipers
produce a
firmer pedal feel and quicker reaction time than stock brakes in panic stops. Every StopTech
application is thoroughly track tested and fine-tuned as part of the development process.
See:
Track testing write-up
StopTech big brake kits
are available with red or black calipers standard. Silver, gold, blue
or yellow
calipers are available and add 30 days to the
delivery date. Silver is a no-cost upgrade. Blue, yellow or
gold add
$200 per caliper pair. Slotted rotors standard. Drilled
rotors available for $100/pair. Drilled rotors are recommended for the
street, while slotted rotors may be used for street or racing.
New! StopTech's ultra-high end

We will be an exclusive dealer for StopTech's new Carbon Ceramic Brake System (CCBS). Significantly lighter than cast
iron, these shave up to 60 pounds of rotating weight from your brakes,
dramatically improving handling, acceleration and
ride. Better heat capacity, resistance to cracking
and oxidation, and responsiveness in heavy rain than existing OEM ceramic
options, such as Porsche's PCCB system. Not delicate, like C6 Corvette
ZR1 brakes. We've
been conducting durability and usability testing for over 2 years, including
track, street, and extreme winter conditions. The system has performed
beyond our expectations. Call for details or check back for availability.

Centric Parts Premium rotors are identical in
dimensions and internal vane design to the factory originals. During assembly,
rotors are straddle cut for the most accurate machining, then double disc ground
for optimum parallelism, minimal runout, and near zero thickness variation.
A non-directional finish is applied for better initial pad bedding. All
surfaces, including the hat, are machined and non-swept surfaces are electrostatically coated with a durable, black finish
(unless noted otherwise below) for corrosion protection
and good looks. Finally, all rotors are computer mill balanced to
incredibly tight tolerances. You won't find a better replacement rotor
anywhere. Click here for more details.
New! Centric
Parts High Carbon rotors contain an
advanced metallurgy that reduces pad squeal. The proprietary Molybdenum and
Chromium alloy resist rotor cracking during heavy track use or repeat-stop
situations and increases the friction level, improving brake performance and
stopping power. Increased Chromium and Carbon content is also more resistant to
surface oxidation. For some applications, directional internal cooling
vanes are used for improved cooling over the straight-vane factory rotors.
Power Slot
slotted
rotors are available for all applications, offering the advantages of
Centric High Carbon rotors, with the addition of slotting for higher bite and
friction.
StopTech SportStop rotors are available for
many applications, offering the advantages of Centric Premium rotors, with
the addition of slotting and/or drilling for higher bite and friction.
How to choose between them? Slotted rotors provide additional bite and maintain
consistent friction level over the life of your pads. These are ideal
for aggressive street and even road racing applications. Slotted and drilled
rotors offer even more bite and stunning looks, but should be used on the street and not for racing. If you
want slotted
or slotted and drilled rotors and there is no pricing listed below, send an inquiry to
orders@zeckhausen.com and we can let you know if they are available.
Or check our
on-line store, which has many more vehicle listings:

Make sure you install your rotors properly. See:
How to Properly Install Plain,
Slotted or Drilled Rotors
(Centric Parts is the parent
company of Power Slot and StopTech . Power Slot and StopTech rotors start as Centric blanks and are machined in the USA by Centric
Parts on computer-controlled milling machines.)
To obtain information about any rotor, click on the part number (if a link is present)
for details,
including rotor drawings, replacement thickness, critical
dimensions, and weight. The term "floating" does not mean two-piece, floating rotor. It is Centric's terminology for a
rotor that can be removed without also removing the vehicle's wheel bearings or hubs.

Stainless Braided Brake Lines by StopTech |
|
|
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines |
Improve pedal feel
by replacing stock rubber lines with StopTech stainless steel braided
Teflon lines.
Stock lines expand under pressure, contributing to spongy pedal feel.
StopTech lines reduce pedal travel and firm up pedal feel, allowing precise brake
modulation. Useful for drivers who "heel-toe" downshift,
providing a more stable platform from which to modulate the throttle to
match engine revs to transmission speed.
StopTech lines are covered with stainless steel
weave to
provide support and protect from abrasion and impact. The stainless
braid is molded inside a layer of clear plastic to
protect the lines from the environment and to protect your car's
suspension and delicate sensor wires from the "hacksaw effect" possible with
uncoated steel braided brake lines.
These lines are DOT compliant and may be legally used on the highway,
unlike lines sold for "off-road use only."
StopTech lines have been tested and approved by the TUV for sale in
Germany.
100 percent tested!
Every StopTech line is tested at 4,500 psi before it is
packed and shipped. Most manufacturers perform no pressure testing.
Some test random samples from their
assembly line or test to lower pressures. No other company tests every
single brake line.
When installing a front big brake kit,
Zeckhausen Racing recommends upgrading your rear brake lines. 4-wheel
big brake kits come with
front and rear steel braided lines, so no additional purchase is necessary.
Each brake line kit includes parts for
both sides of your vehicle. To order, click here:

the left side of the store page. Or, feel free to call us at

High Performance and Competition Brake Pads |
|
 |
StopTech Street
Performance brake pads are StopTech's
newest formulation, offering an unusual combination of good bite, low noise, and
extremely wide temperature range, making them ideal as "dual use" street to
medium track pads. These are the standard pads included with StopTech big brakes and
are now available for many OEM applications. These are Zeckhausen
Racing's preferred high performance street pads.

Hawk HP PLUS high performance street pads have
moderate dust, moderate rotor wear, very high initial bite and a
Maximum Operating Temperature (MOT) slightly higher than Hawk HPS. They tend to be noisy,
often squealing under light
braking, although
proper bedding can help. Ideal for autocross and may be used for
track days on lower horsepower cars.
Not recommended for heavy track use, as friction level falls off rapidly
when MOT is exceeded.

Hawk DTC-70 is the most serious member
of the "Dynamic Torque Control" race pad family, with an average level of friction among the highest
available and an incredibly linear pressure to torque relationship. The
result gives the driver an unparalleled ability to modulate
brake torque at the limit of tire adhesion, while keeping pedal effort low.
Relatively low rotor and pad wear for such an aggressive pad.

Hawk DTC-60 is a member of the "Dynamic
Torque Control" race pad family with similar characteristics to DTC-70, but
less initial bite, slightly lower friction and an optimal temperature range
starting 100 degrees F lower. An ideal rear pad, when used with DTC-70
in front, for racers who prefer split friction levels. May be used in
front on lower horsepower cars or on cold days when DTC-70 can't be heated
sufficiently. Relatively low rotor and pad wear.

Hawk HT-10 Race pads have good
modulation and release characteristics, making them ideal for the
"weekend warrior." Moderate rotor wear, moderate dust, a stable torque
curve, above average bite, and a MOT of 1,400 degrees F. Recommended for the
front of front-engine cars for casual track use, as well as for the rear of club
race and professional race cars.

Hawk Blue 9012 Race pads have a stable
torque curve, good bite, and a MOT of 1,050°F. Low to moderate rotor
wear when warm, but extremely high rotor wear when cold. Works well
for track use in the front of lower horsepower, front-engine cars with less
experienced drivers. Advanced drivers can overheat this pad on medium
to heavy cars. We primarily use this pad as a "tool" to remove
pad deposits from rotors.

Performance, All-Season, and Winter
Tires |
|
Besides brakes, tires are the
most important component in determining stopping distance. It's literally
where the rubber meets the road. Selecting the right tire for your driving
conditions can make a tremendous difference. For example, if you live in
Florida or southern California and are driving on all-season tires, you are
leaving huge performance gains on the table! A good set of summer-only
performance tires can literally transform the handling and braking capabilities
of your car. In fact, if your goal is to minimize stopping distance,
you're better off going to Tire Rack's web site and buying tires first, before
spending any money here on better brakes!
For the best selection and
prices, we recommend Tire Rack.
From Maximum Performance tires to All Season tires to Snow Tires, Tire Rack has
it all. Tire Rack also offers wheel and tire packages and can even tell
you which wheels will clear your StopTech big brake upgrade. Click the
Tire Rack icon below for your best deal on wheels and tires.
