Stop Tech does not make ceramic rotors

Movit does, but you have to rob a bank to afford them

Yes, it is a standrard pad size (can't remember off hand what it is)

You can order any pads you want..........and replacement rotors are very cost effective

As suspected, appears any weight savings over stock steel brakes is down to rotor weight differences.
I posted teh weights for you....figured you have been asking

I figured they would be around the same weight, Stop tech claims they ar elighter than their standard line......wonder what they weigh?

I ain't nervous, I go by the "if it's good for a CUP car, it's gfood for my car" gospel..
===> you, rmag and i are few who aren't so nervous about it.



I likey my CUP, LSD, gurney flap, front splitter, BBS 3 piece..Everytime Orbit drops a part on my car it goes a little faster.
===> can orbit send a tech over and duplicate your stuff on mine? man, i thought you dont mod that much







yet.[/QUOTE]

I don't mod, really. They do, I'm just unable to stop them.

It's all just CUP stuff that glues and bolts on, except for the CF rear spoiler Gurney, the shape of our spoilers are different but they make them like they put on the CUP cars.
I'll take pics of the (ugly) black side flaps once they are on the car and send them to you, it's supposed to suck more air through the front brakes. Maybe next week.



I don't really see it, but I did not either on the other stuff and it all worked.

==> just cut them a chk that will bounce. if they still wont stop, call me. i will ship my car there with $1,000,000 chk attached so they can mod my car with a bouncing chk

It's all just CUP stuff that glues and bolts on, except for the CF rear spoiler Gurney, the shape of our spoilers are different but they make them like they put on the CUP cars.
===> you tell orbit to get you cup car upright and wider wing. there. it's MUCH easier than modding the gurney to fit your OEM wing.

====> paint them red. this way it will look like cat fish

Haha, if they want to put a CUP spoiler of for free as well, who am I to stop them. I do like the OEM spoiler a lot, but can't see cops coming..

They won't take my checks..They know me..I usually hand cash from the slush fund, so as to keep my track days cheaper then Mustang track days as promised to the wife..

These are not the downforce wings on the front bumper, these are the little strips that stick out from the fender in the front like a CUP car.

The PCCB Specific Endless pad is the W008 (Street/Circuit), and W007 for dedicated track use. So yes, there are PCCB specific applications. However, there are other Endless street and race compounds that are PCCB Compatible.

Front Caliper / 7 lbs 14 oz
Front Mounting Bar / 10 oz
Rear Rotor / 18 lbs 12 oz
Rear Caliper / 7 lbs
Rear Mounting Bar / 7 oz



Thanks for the great write up on the Stoptech STR kit and thanks for the all the kind words from those of you who chimed in.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to drop me an email.

GMG is Stoptech's technology partner for Porsche and these brakes were developed in conjunction with our World Challenge GT program scoring multiple wins in the series over the past few years.
These are the same brakes we run on our World Challenge GT cars.


In addition GMG is also a development partner to Endless Brakes and the authorized distributor for the Porsche line of pads.. If you have any questions on the brake pads for stock calipers, or the Stoptech STR feel free to shoot me a email as well.

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have or offer advice.If you are in the OC area feel free to stop by the shop to check out the brakes.


Have a great holiday everyone!

Op, from your picture it'd appear that your front 888s are mounted on the wrong side (ur pic shows a RIGHT tire on the drivers side). Am sure u know these things are directional. Or maybe u're just posting the pics to show fitment
