2005-06-24 Stoptech 14in Big Brake Kit
Stoptech 14 inch BBK is part of my M3 motor project, but I figured some of the M3 guys would wanna see the kit and how it compares with other BBKs...
Packaged a little differently that Brembo GT's...easier to carry...
One box for each corner...tricky thing is that they put both pads in one box and both caliper holders in the other...I thought I was missing a whole $hit load of stuff...
14inch...slotted...
This thing is like a steak...
YaY...instructions...
Massive...just massive caliper...black power coated...quad piston love...
Caliper holder and stainless steal teflon wrapped brake lines...
Axxis brake pads...
Here's a little comparo...
Here are my old brakes (E46 M3 stock)...for sale $200...pads and rotors still in good shape...Click for more pix...
Ok on to the install...locktite...
Bolted to stock mounts...
So the rotors come sprayed with this anti-rust film...stoptech includes about 4 huge notices and on every other page of the manual to give it a bath...=)
Nothing like some watermellon smelling rotors...
Scruba dub dub...
Air dry...
Mounted...
Whoo hoo...
A lil motion...
Caliper time...remove bridge...
Pads...
Caliper mounted...
Pads slide in like cartridges...
This thing is nutssss...kinda looks like some teeth...
Clip and bridge...
Anti-seize...
Brake lines...
Zippy zip...
A little video of it spinning...

On to the rears...my brother is much better than me at the dremel...so he cut the dust shields for me...

The rear kit is virtually the same as the front...so I'm gonna skip a few steps...
YaY all done...Sat night time to party =)
