I am especially sad, since I designed many brake packages utilizing StopTech Brake calipers & rotors. I loved working with Mark Cornwell at StopTech (who came over from Brembo) & other StopTech Employees & Engineers. They're all gone. Sad.
But if you have StopTech big brakes, do not fear. Pads, rotors & small parts are readily available & will continue.
For ST309 Street Brake pads, contact BuyBrakes.com HERE -Or - Call them at 702-903-1713
For race & track pads, almost every brake pad manufacturer continues to make their brake pads that fit the StopTech brake calipers.
For rotors, they are the same as Brembo. Literally a copy. So is the hardware. A 355mmx32mm Brembo rotor is the same as 355mmx32mm StopTech rotor.
Anyone that sells rotors for Brembo, has rotors for your StopTech brakes. GiroDisc & Alcon also carry rotors that fit.

I’m a veteran racer & race car designer committed to staying on the leading edge of racing technology, for one reason, to win. Everything else is BS. I'm only semi-retired because I still love helping build bad ass race cars. <br><br>While engineering, geometry, trigonometry, physics & more affect everything in race cars, I do my best to make the complicated easier to understand. One of my racing friends said, “Ron is a race car designer that did not go to engineering school, so he speaks car guy.”
