StopTech AeroRotor Replacement Kits ARK - Product Overview

If you're looking to upgrade your vehicle's braking system, the StopTech AeroRotor Replacement Kits ARK are an excellent choice. These kits are engineered to replace your factory rotors while seamlessly working with your existing brake calipers. With the same diameter and thickness as your original rotors, the ARK offers enhanced cooling, braking performance, and overall handling.

Key Features

  • Position: Front Right
  • Style: Slotted
  • Lightweight Design: The two-piece AeroRotors are crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them up to 8 pounds lighter than stock rotors. This reduction in weight leads to quicker acceleration and improved handling.
  • Advanced Cooling Technology: The patented internal vane design pushes up to 80% more air than factory rotors, significantly enhancing cooling and reducing brake fade, especially during high-performance driving.
  • Optimized Heat Dissipation: The directional, floating AeroRotors allow for independent expansion without "coning," thanks to elongated drive pin holes, ensuring consistent performance under pressure.
  • Durability Options: An optional anti-corrosion zinc finish is available, perfect for those in colder climates where road salt and chemicals are common. This coating helps prevent surface rust while maintaining optimal performance.

Benefits of Upgrading

By choosing StopTech AeroRotors, you can expect a noticeable improvement over factory components. The reduced unsprung and rotational mass contributes to better handling dynamics, while the improved thermal capabilities ensure your brakes perform reliably, even during intense driving conditions. The optimized heat dissipation means you'll experience less brake fade, allowing for more confidence on the track or during spirited drives.

Specifications

  • Material: Aircraft-grade aluminum and patented friction rings
  • Weight: Up to 8 pounds lighter than OEM rotors
  • Cooling Efficiency: 80% more air pushed compared to factory rotors
  • Manufacturing: 100% made in the USA

Fitment

The StopTech AeroRotors are designed to work perfectly with your original equipment (OE) calipers, ensuring a hassle-free installation. This compatibility allows you to retain the factory braking system while upgrading to performance-oriented components.

Customer Insights

Many customers have reported a significant improvement in their vehicle's braking performance after installing the StopTech AeroRotors.
