    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    I tested the booster as you said and it's functioning normally. The stock brakes just suck! If they didn't then this thread would be real short.

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Thanks for this video. This is one of my friends Vipers. Lance from So Cal club. I have been discussing with him his brake system in detail for the + and - of the SRT conversion.

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    I'm looking for a complete system that works. Name is not important to me Function is. Size is not always the determining factor as I stated. If you have big brakes and the don't function properly well what is the point.

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Dave, Spoken like a man with deep pockets. Bigger is not always better (when your discussing brakes) if they are not properly matched to the car they could do more harm then good. If you have huge brakes in the back and they lock up constantly then what is the point. I have a 2000 gts NON...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    I will run your tests. However I suspect that the problem lies in stock brake lines. They just don't give much pedal feel.

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    I can lock up the brakes no problem. There is just no modulation of the brake pedal. It's most likely due to the stock lines on the car. At any rate the old system will be trashed.

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Yep I plan on doing that. I just ran out of time today. I want to get as much info as I can about this. As you can see I stired up the bees nest on this one. Everyone has an opinion and they have different ideas. I'm not saying one is wrong or right. Some people may be happy with the set up they...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    I can't say exactly what the weight is. I did discuss this with them (stoptech) and their high performance rotor is much lighter than the stock gts and srt set ups. Un sprung weight here will be much less from what I understand. Aceleration should notice a bump too. Right now I just want to...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Yes they require cutting of the tabs like daves kit does. I don't know if exactly the same cut but I suspect it's similar.

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Okay I don't know about the size of the rear pistons. I would have to call Steve back. I do know that they don't use a proportion valve for the simple fact that they can build the calipers with different braking force. The caliper is designed to be on the rear without a valve. They can build...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Thanks for all the posts. I had some great discussions with Jon B and with Steve Ruiz at Stoptech. Here is what I found out in a nut shell from both gentlemen. With the Dave's BB kit and everything that is needed and included in that upgrade using the SRT calipers all the way around. I will...

    Looks nice. You have an approximate cost for the brake job?

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Did you use the Daves BB set up for you kit? Did you use a proportion valve for front and rear? Cost? Were did you buy them etc?

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Yeah I have been through all that before. New high temp fluid, new rotors new pads, same braking. Feels like I am pushing on a brick. Nothing and then everything. The brakes on my Chevy Equinox are far better than my Viper. Sad but true.

    Mike did I read this correctly? Are you saying the six piston is not a gain? Hirk

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Wow. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately now I'm more confused than I was before I asked. One of the reasons I did not want to go with the Dave's BB kit is all the "puzzle pieces" As someone stated. It seems like I need to buy all these little things separately to make it work. When I can go to a...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Hey guys I bet someone out there knows the answer to this question. I am going to do a big brake upgrade on my 2000 GTS and I'm running OEM 18" wheels. Can I run the Stoptech ST-60 (six piston) with 14" rotors in the front and the ST-40 with 13" rotors in the rear. Let me know if anyone out...

    Fire extinguisher placement

    Well I guess the point here is you need one in the car. If your going to do any track driving then it needs to be mounted securely to your car were you can reach it. Not a strap in the back. If per chance you are stuck in the car and it catches fire I hope you have long arms to reach in the back...

    I have these installed now as well. The fit and finish is great. I have done many street miles and 5 track days so far with them. The only debris that gets in is small rocks. However the back of the sills (meaning the underside facing towards the bottom of the car) is open. Water and small rocks...
