New 6-piston Stoptech Calipers

[97 Viper GTS]

Check out my new 6-piston stoptech fronts (with 355mm rotor). Along with the good-old ST-40 (4 piston) rears, this is a pretty formidable brake kit. I will take some installed pics soon....

Those look very nice!!!

Can we say stop on a dime?

Do those calipers use the same rotors as the older Stop Techs?

Looking forward to seeing those pics.

 

[97 Viper GTS]

Well, there are two ST-40 front brake upgrades that I am aware of. One has a 332mm rotor, and the other has a 355mm rotor. The ST-60 caliper (6-piston), pictured above, uses the 355mm rotor. I think a 380mm is also available!?! The Stoptech website might have more info, although these calipers have been hard to get. I ordered mine last August and just received them a couple weeks ago.

Those are almost too pretty to use.

Whoa, those are nice. Make sure your belts are working good, or you'll be up against the windshield! Best wishes with the install.

The enginerd question : what are the piston diameters?

 

[97 Viper GTS]

The pistons are 23mm, 27mm, and 29mm in diameter.

That caliper is huge. Looks awesome. What diameter wheels are you running to fit those?

 

[97 Viper GTS]

I run 18"s. If you step up to 19"s, you can fit a 380mm rotor in there, but it is much harder to find decent slicks in that size tire.

Are these Gen 3 compatible????

 

[kcobean]

Those look awesome. My only complaint with StopTechs (always has been) is that they put their HUGE logo on all their calipers. I would prefer a little more subtlety....Monster brakes though!!

Awesome set. Can you fit the major brand pads ?

 

[97 Viper GTS]

It uses a standard FMSI D1247 pad. Several companies make this pad, including Hawk, Pagid, Ferodo, PFC, etc...
