Stoptech

I was browsing the catalog and don't see Stoptech listed anywhere. Did Vivid stop carrying Stoptech?

Are you serious. I've been needing to order some Brembo's (replacing the Rotora's), but I just don't have the urge to spend money now. It just sits, idle.

StopTech product sucks, to many issues.

That's the answer I was looking for. The guys at EndlessUSA even recommended Brembo over StopTech.
Can you shed some light on the Stoptech issues? PM if you want. I'm just super curious.
But it says a lot for a company to stop carrying a brand if they don't believe in it. That's why I love Vivid.

Every StopTech kit was always 6-8 weeks. Then there would be issues with the parts inside. Guys that were actually racing these would warp the rotors in 1 session. Once they sold to Centric the managers egos took over. They service was worse and they decided to cut us off. So we said, cool, shove it up your own arse. Having Brembo and Rotora is a much better solution. 2 different price points, 2 different levels of products, and 2 different clientel. Stoptech was just in the middle.

I have heard a lot on other forums about the rotors actually cracking. At first I brushed it off and figured this is just one person and it couldn't carry any weight.
Refreshing to hear though.
