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.
