New Stoptech Trophy Brakes - Seeking a car for test fitment

“StopTech’s Trophy Brake Systems take our experience and successes from our racing program and deliver
on-track performance with no compromise,” said Dan Lelchuk, president of Centric Parts. “As far as the
brakes go, you provide the pads and the track, and a StopTech Big Brake Kit provides the rest for your stock
or tuned performance production car.”
These racetrack and competition brake systems come with StopTech’s new Trophy STR lightweight forged
calipers in four- or six-piston configurations and include the option of a quick release version of the
StopTech patented bridge. These “track only” calipers feature the same metallurgy and design of the
StopTech ST-40 and ST-60 calipers, but are engineered to provide a 20-percent reduction in weight without
sacrificing stiffness or performance. “Every race team out there is obsessed with shaving off weight, no
matter what the sport, and StopTech’s Trophy STR racing calipers do just that,” said Dino Crescentini, CEO
of Centric Parts and race car driver in the SCCA World Challenge Series on The SPEED Channel.
StopTech Trophy Big Brake Kits include the company’s patented AeroRotors, engineered to increase airflow
by 11 percent for better cooling and performance. Unique to the Trophy Brake Systems is full-floating
mounting hardware, which eliminates pad knock-back. The patented, billet 7075 aluminum AeroHats create
an additional 4 percent airflow, according to StopTech. Together, these technologies optimize the rotor
system to provide even performance and consistent feedback to the pedal under the unique combination of
hard cornering and braking found on the track.
StopTech Trophy Brake Systems will be available through motorsports distributors in January 2009 for
selected high-performance production cars including Porsche, BMW, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO, Nissan GTR
and 350Z, Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 and others."



We are seeking an E82 135i for test fitment, there are some qualifications, so please read the following before sending us a PM or email:

1. We will need your car for one full day initially and perhaps have you come back another day for a final fitment.

2. The complete front and rear Trophy Brakes will not be free, but will be at a substantial discount from retail. And they will be installed for you free of charge!

Please PM or email me for other details.

Thanks for your time.

Harold

Oh man, if only we were racing in prepared class.

And I missed the rules changes period (I was not on the e-mail list) to get front brake upgrade kits allowed in stock class. So unless I can get a mid-season rules change done (based on safety) for 2010, it will be 2011 before I could possibly get BBKs allowed for the front of stock class cars.

They don't need a test fitment car for e46 non-M3 cars do they?

But congrats to whoever gets selected. We run Stoptechs on our champion H-Prepared M3

The E46 None M cars are all developed, so they dont' need one.

Let me know if you are able to get a rule change and I'll get you in touch with the right person at Stoptech.

We will try to get a rules change for front brakes for stock class

We will be installing the Stoptech Trophy Sport front BBK on our project 135i as soon as time allows. They are currently collecting dust in our shop!

That was for the 135i.

My 1M was at Stoptech already with only 400 miles on the clock!

1M BBK should be out shortly.
