URGENT QUESTION: StopTech 14" rear bbk specs?
Guys, I need some specification help for a prospective GroupBuy participant, that has 14" StopTechs front and rear, could someone please email me with the Rotor size/width (mm), caliper piston count (possibly dimensions), etc? Off the top of my head, I can only think of Redgs4, but I am not sure if his are StopTech.
I visited the StopTech site, and no rear kits are listed. Mods, I would like to leave this post in the General GS forum simply for maximized visibility, please move it to the Suspension/Brakes Forum after today.
Email me with details please, (I will post here when I have my answer!) .Thanks in advance,

I would recommend talking to the guys at Stoptech- perhaps Jeff Ritter (the Sales manager) or one of the guys can give you the specs you need.... For what it's worth, the front & rear StopTech kits for the Lexus are 355mm (14") and use 4-piston calipers.
Be careful with low-disk/deep lip rear wheel applications, as they will not clear the rear calipers (this is why I don't run their kit on the rear of my GS- I wanted LIP!). The front caliper overhang is less "evil" than the Brembo 355mm kit, but still requires a decent disk height.
The StopTech systems are fantastic, I would highly recommend them. Hope you can put a decent number of customers together for the group buy!

I'll help if I can. What do you need? If it's the Stoptech BBK, the front and rear are pretty much identical. The only difference is the rear rotors are fitted to handle the parking brake.

Yup. The calipers are the same size. ISPilot (Mike from PLP) had the 4-corners as well on his IS.
Although the same size calipers, I don't know if the spacing is the same. A quick call to StopTech would be good to ask. Check with them to see if the template can be used for both front and rear wheels. If so, then the disk spacing would need to be the same as the front although you still may be able to get a bit more lip than the front since the rear wheel well is a bit deeper.

Redgs4- I will definately file my findings on this, I have received a few inquiries regarding rear bbks (never 14" though :eek).
SoCal- thanks for the input and well wishes, if I attend SEMA, I look forward to meeting you, as well as other CL vendors.

Ok, so the rotor width is the same front and rear?
