We are one of the very few authorized dealers where you can purchase StopTech product and still retain the StopTech manufacturer warranty. StopTech will NOT honor clubsciontc.com purchases for any warranty claims. We carry both the StopTech Stage 1 and Stage 2 for your Scion tC.

These are great upgrades for thos who do not need big brake kits but still want the ultimate bite!

Stage 1: $279 shipped - New pads, brake lines, and brake fluid.
www.dezod.com/pd_stoptech_stage.cfm

Stage 1 Kits contain:
StopTech stainless steel brake lines, 3 bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid and street performance pads. Lines and pads are for both front and rear. FITS STOCK CALIPERS.

Benefits:
StopTech Stage 1 kits are a great first step towards taking your cars braking performance to the next level. Front and rear stainless steel brake lines improve pedal feel and reduce the amount of time between applied pedal pressure and actual deceleration by preventing expansion, which stock rubber flex lines allow. High performance front and rear street pads provide you with higher resistance to fade, higher maximum operating temperature, and better initial bite to allow consistent deep braking into corners. Three bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid increases both wet and dry boiling points and prevents boiling even under the most severe operating conditions. Good for street and autocross. Not for extended track sessions.

Stage 2: $569 shipped, slotted or drilled, your choice! New rotors, pads, lines, fluid
http://www.dezod.com/pd_stoptech.cfm

Stage 2 Kits contain:
StopTech's SportStop slotted or drilled rotors, StopTech stainless steel brake lines, street performance pads and 3 bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid. Rotors, lines and pads are for both front and rear. Components can also be purchased separately. FITS STOCK CALIPERS.

Benefits:
Slotted or drilled rotors prevent glazing of the pads, add bite and improve wet and dry braking performance. StopTech's SportStop rotors have a durable black coating on the non-swept areas of the rotor to prevent unsightly corrosion, and quality is assured as the rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed all OE specifications. Stainless steel brake lines improve pedal feel and reduce the amount of time between applied pedal pressure and actual deceleration by preventing expansion, which stock rubber flex lines allow. High performance street pads provide you with higher resistance to fade, higher maximum operating temperature, and better initial bite to allow consistent deep braking into corners. Motul RBF600 brake fluid increases both wet and dry boiling points and prevents boiling even under the most severe operating conditions. Good for street and autocross. Not for extended track sessions.

 

We are very happy to have you guys on board and look forward to working with you in the future!

 

Very nice, will probably be getting a set of the stage 2 sometime in spring/summer of 06. Although i think you have a typo for stage 2 benefits.. it lists the stage 1 benefits =/ Or correct me if im wrong.

-Dan

 

Typo fixed. You were correct.

We plan on using nothing but StopTech on our Dezod turbo tC. They have excellent quality and performance.

 

Hmm.. will Dezod stock the BBK?

 

We will eventually, but not yet.

Thank you for your interest though.

 

i'll prolly be picking up the stage 2 kit early next year. good job dezod & stoptech!

 

Same here...I planned on this for the winter.

I got overtime like a mo fo

 

Awesome. You know we can accomodate both of you.

We're not just here for boost, we'll help you out with every aspect of your vehicle.

 

With 280 whp on hand it'd be a good idea to be able to stop well.

Good looking out!

 

I'm really unsure of what is *really* needed. Lots of people have been saying that the stage 2 upgrad is exactly what the car needs and is an excellent upgrade.

However, the bbk is awesome looking, although twice the price.

What would you recommend and why?

 

We will be the first to tell that on a street only car a BBK is not needed. The first upgrade when looking for improved braking performance is the tires as they dictate the traction level. The more grip your tire has on the road the more brake force can be applied before that tire will lock up and trigger the ABS.

After the tires have been upgraded, better brake pads are the next best upgrade as they will increase brake torque. The pads will be responsible for slowing and stopping the car and will be better able to utilize your new sticky tires.

After the tires and pads the next "best upgrade" is kind of a tossup between rotors, lines and fluid. On a new car, the factory rubber lines have not been subject to a lot of heat and abuse and are still fairly strong. They do not have a lot of flex in them so pedal pressure is already pretty firm. As time goes by and they get softer, more compliance is introduced into the system which is translated into longer pedal travel and less brake response. On a new car, SS lines will not be as noticeable as on an older car, but in the long run they are a wise investmeant as they will not soften up and the firmer pedal will be maintained.

Slotted or drilled rotors will add bite to the sytem and help to keep a clean brake pad sureface. Contrary to popular beleif, slots and drills are not used to help vent gasses away or promote better cooling. By having leading edges machined into the rotor surface, bite is increased which increases performance. Ideally no rotor mass should be removed as the rotor is a large heatsink and the more mass the better. Heat in braking systems is the number 1 enemy so the more heat a system can maintain the longer it will be able to perform at it maximum level. Heat is the number 1 reason why big brake kits are utilized. The larger rotrs and pads increase heat capacity dramatically which will the brakes to function normally at temperatures of up to 2000 degrees F.

The slotted or drilled rotors in our stage 2 kits will not increase heat capacity over a stock rotor, but bite is increased and they look more aggressive behind the wheels. Our stage 2 kit is a complete upgrade that will show a definite improvement over the stock system, espeically when hight performance tires are being used. On the street where high temperatures will not (and shold not) be reached, the benefits of a BBK will not be noticed, other than the improved pedal response due to the smaller piston sizes and stiffer calipers.

The appearance of the BBK is also a major factor as to why people want them which is completely understandable and is shown by the number of requests we get for matching rear BBKs. Rear brakes dont have the heat generated in them like front brakes do which makes a rear kit almost completely unneccesary even under full racing conditions.

Hope that helps to make your decision. Either way you go with, you will notice significant improvemnts over the stock system. The brakes will perform better and be able to operate at higher temperatures without experiencing fade where the stock parts would have already given up.

 

wow, that is some honesty..........most people would jump at the chance to sell somoene somthing that is not neccasarily needed. I too was intreted in the BBK, but after reading this i im going to get in on the stage 2 kit...........
the stage 2 kit 579 shipped is smokin.............espcially for fronts an rears. definatly getting a set

 

Awesome reply!! Thanks a ton for the good info

 

Happy to help out guys.

Also one of the best things you can do when installing new pads is to do a complete bed in procedure. This will cook out the manufactuing resins and stabilize the pads which will make them last longer and perform better. You will also put the pads through their "green fade" process in a controlled situation instead of in a panic stop where you need maximum braking. The only time slots or drills in the rotors helpt to release gasses is in a green fade situation where you will smell that telltale overheated brake odor. After a complete bed in procedure all of the resins will be cooked out and you will not smell the brakes again even under very heavy use. You will not have any issues with fade due to pad outgassing either.

Another important aspect of the bed in procedure is the scrubbing action on the rotors to remove any old pad material left on the rotors by the previous pad compound. The first bed in cycle will clean off the rotor face and prep the pads. The second and third bed in cycle will lay down an even layer of pad material onto the rotor surface which will increase friction levels and reduce the chances of squealing and uneven pad deposits as well as cook out any remaining manufacturing resins from the pads.

If you find your brakes start squeaking after a while another bed in procedure will usually clean up the rotors and lay down a new even layer which will elimintae the squeaks.

Heres the in-depth how-to on proper brake bed in:

Thanks for the slammin info Eric. I appreciate it.

 

one question, i have 19"s and i noticed a major difference in the brakeing responce stage2? should that fix it or is it overkill?

also could you possibly post a image of the drilled and slotted rotors? everyone makes different styles of rotors.

thanks!!


one more thing, if i happened to decide on the bigbrake kit, which i know is overkill but looks so cool..........what is that cost?

 

The stage 2 should help out quite a bit with the 19" wheels with the increased bite offered from the pads and slotted or drilled rotors. It is defenitely not overkill, and should improve braking performance to better than stock levels even with the heavier 19" wheels.

Heres a picture of the SportStop rotors included in the Stage 2 kit:



If you decide to go with a BBK, the list price is $1795.00. That includes red black or silver calieprs and slotted rotors.

 

that's great prices!

 

Thank you. The prices kick almost as much ___ as the brakes .

Looking forward to racing with this system this spring.
