StopTech, the ultra
performance and racing brand from Centric Parts, introduces a new line of
StopTech Racing Brake Friction that brings the company’s “Brake Late, Finish
First” philosophy to a wider range of racing disciplines. The new racing pads
complement the company’s extensive range of high performance brake component
and system upgrades – and help turn any StopTech system into a dedicated race
system.

Available in four
formulations, the new StopTech Racing Brake Pads are engineered to provide
optimal friction levels for a variety of different racing applications. All
StopTech Racing Brake Pads provide shorter stops, increased control through
superior pedal modulation, and fade-free performance at extreme racing
temperatures. StopTech Racing pads are designed to provide superior performance
in any racing brake system, and match the outstanding performance capabilities
drivers have come to expect from all StopTech Racing Brake Systems and
components, said the company.

StopTech’s unique
metallic compounds are blended with carbon and graphite particles to provide an
optimal high temperature race friction material. According to the company, the result is smoother, more
predictable and more consistent brake engagement along with exceptional release
characteristics not found in most other racing friction materials.

StopTech engineers work
directly with race teams, often trackside, to gather valuable experience in
dynamic real world conditions. Data is immediately integrated into the research
and development process, resulting in optimized brake systems for individual
racing programs.

Pad Compound
Characteristics

SR34 Compound

• Superior pedal
feel and modulation characteristics

• Formulated for
high initial bite

• Slight torque rise
with temperature

• Extremely low pad
and abraded disc wear

• All purpose pad
for high grip, high power applications

 

SR33 Compound

• Slight reduction
in torque compared to SR34 Compound

• Excellent pedal
modulation for applications requiring a medium friction level

• Flat torque curve
with temperature rise

• Extreme fade
resistance

• Great for rear
applications that require less friction but same level of control as SR34
Compound

 

SR32 Compound

• Similar friction
levels to the SR34 Compound

• Linear torque curve
with temperature rise with excellent release characteristics

• Superb abraded
disc wear

• Maximum
high-temperature stability

• For medium to high
horsepower applications that require higher friction levels

 

SR30 Compound

• Medium to low friction
levels with linear torque curve with rising temperature

• Extreme high
temperature fade resistance

• Excellent
modulation and release characteristics

• Repeatable performance

• For Touring Car
rear applications and others requiring lower torque
