Centric Parts, North America’s leading manufacturer and supplier of OE and aftermarket brake and chassis components, has announced important changes to its high performance StopTech Brake Pad range. This includes the introduction of a new StopTech Street Brake Pad, in addition to a new name for the former StopTech Street Performance Pads, which are now known as StopTech Sport Brake Pads. While both new StopTech brake pad lines offer high performance braking gains, the street pads are intended for road use only, while sport pads are engineered for occasional track duty as well.
StopTech Sport Brake Pad Features:
- High MOT (Max Operating Temperature) to Eliminate Fade
- Excellent Actuation, Modulation and Release Characteristics
- 100% Positive Molded for Uniform Friction Material Density
- Scorched to Raise Initial Cold Effectiveness and Ease Bed-In
- Para-Aramid Composites Provide Linear Response at All Temps
- Dynamometer Tested for Maximum Performance and Service Life
- Lab-Developed Formulas with Strong Initial Bite
- Ideal for Autocross and Light Track Day Use
Formerly known as the StopTech Street Performance Brake Pad, the Sport Brake Pads are engineered to meet the demands of high performance driving situations while maintaining their ability to work in normal driving conditions. These pads combine the benefits of premium street brake pads with aggressive friction formulas suitable for track day and autocross use. Para-Aramid composites deliver optimum stopping performance over a wide temperature range and are specially formulated to deliver linear response in both cold and hot conditions. All StopTech Sport Brake Pads are 100% positive molded and include OE designed shims to eliminate noise associated with brake pad vibration. In addition, each StopTech pad is scorched to remove any impurities in the friction material. While this does not eliminate the need to bed-in new pads, it does provide improved stopping power right out of the box.
StopTech Street Brake Pad Features:
- Superior Braking Performance for Everyday “Street” Drivers
- Lab-Tested, OE-Style Design, Manufacturing and Features
- Rotor-Friendly, Low-Dust Formula for Cleaner Wheels
- Dyno-Proven, Noise-Isolating Shims for Quiet Operation
- 100% Positive Molded for Life-Long Consistent Performance
- Scorched to Raise Initial Cold Effectiveness and Ease Bed-In
- Includes Premium Hardware for Precision OE Fitment
- Application Specific Brake Hardware included
- Dynamometer Tested for Maximum Performance and Service Life
- Platform Specific Friction Compounds
- Ideal for Daily Driving and Touring
The StopTech Street Brake Pads are a new addition to the StopTech product portfolio. StopTech street pads are engineered to provide superior braking performance for everyday street driven vehicles. The lab-developed and dyno-tested friction formulations provide the perfect combination of performance braking characteristics with the lowest dust and quietest operation available. The advanced friction compound delivers optimum stopping performance over a wide temperature range and is specially formulated to deliver linear response in both cold and hot conditions. All StopTech brake pads are 100% positive molded and include OE style shims to eliminate noise associated with brake pad vibration. In addition, each StopTech brake pad is scorched to remove any impurities in the friction material. While this does not eliminate the need to bed-in new pads it does provide improved stopping power right out of the box.
