Centric Introduces the All-New StopTech Sport and Street Brake Pads

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.

New StopTech Big Brake Kits Available for Lexus and Toyota

Centric Parts, North America’s leading manufacturer and supplier of OE and aftermarket brake and chassis components, has today announced the availability of a range of front and rear StopTech Big Brake Kits to fit a wide variety of Lexus and Toyota models. Over 20 new model and trim variations have been added to the StopTech catalog. StopTech Big Brake Kits (BBKs) include stiffer calipers, larger rotors, higher friction pads, stainless steel lines and application-specific mounting brackets and hardware. Like all StopTech High Performance BBKs, they offer significantly improved braking performance, feel and modulation over stock systems and are available in a variety of caliper color/rotor finish options.

The front StopTech Big Brake Kits for these Lexus and Toyota models include a pair of drilled or slotted StopTech 1- or 2-piece AeroRotors and four- or six-piston StopTech ST calipers, as well as mounting brackets, stainless steel lines and StopTech Sport brake pads.

The rear StopTech Big Brake Kits for these Lexus and Toyota models include a pair of drilled or slotted StopTech 1-piece AeroRotors and four-piston StopTech ST41 calipers, as well as mounting brackets, stainless steel lines and StopTech Sport brake pads.

StopTech big brake kits have been developed through years of racing success. These patented brake system upgrades include:

• StopTech ST Calipers – stiffer, forged, differential-bore, opposed-piston calipers with a patented bolt-in bridge that eases 
pad changes while increasing caliper stiffness


• StopTech 1- or 2-piece AeroRotors – Oversized 1-piece performance rotors or pre-assembled, 2-piece iron rotor rings 
with patented AeroVane fin design and aluminum AeroHats for optimal cooling – depending on kit


• StopTech Sport Brake Pads – Kevlar-like, para-aramid composite pads for aggressive street driving and occasional track 
day or autocross use


• StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines – braided stainless steel shielded Teflon-like lines for less system compliance and 
greater durability


• Mounting Brackets and Hardware – hard-anodized, billet aluminum mounting brackets with stainless steel studs and all of 
the necessary hardware for easy installation

With stiffer components and patented heat management technology, all StopTech High Performance Brake Kits provide shorter stopping distances, better brake modulation, firmer pedal feel and less brake fade for stronger, as well as more reliable performance on and off the track. These big brake kits are now available for purchase through authorized distributors. Check out all of Vivid Racing’s StopTech products here.
