Major Announcement - New Brake Kits Debuting at SEMA
StopTech & Ron Sutton Launch New Pro-Touring Brake Packages at SEMA
I am Proud & Excited to Announce We’re Launching My New Line of Ron Sutton Race Technology Optimized Brakes designed & built in conjunction with the Leader in Road Racing Brakes, StopTech. These new kick ass brake packages I've designed, are for the ultimate triple duty Pro-Touring cars doing Autocross & Track Days as well as REAL Street driving! With me being involved, you know these are going to be awesome for Autocross & Track Days ... and they are. But the big deal ... the major difference ... is how well they perform on the street with brake pads made for the street.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why did I develop a new line of brakes?
I have been frustrated with the braking systems available in the Pro-Touring world since I entered it. The calipers from the popular brands don’t have enough piston area to provide good braking force with street pads. To get the level of braking performance needed, people went to more aggressive & abrasive race pads. These race pads cost 2-3 times as much, wear out twice as quick, dust up the wheels horribly and as a bonus, they eat up expensive rotors 2-3 times as quick. Ugh!
I'm not naive enough to think we can have a brake system that will be great on the street, autocross & road courses with a single pad compound. That’s not realistic, because …
* Pad compounds engineered to work well for the street, can't handle the heat generated on road courses and don't provide good enough "cold bite" for optimum autocross needs.
* Race pads that will handle the heat generated on road courses will dust up the wheels & wear out quickly.
* Autocross pads that have good cold bite, will dust up & wear out quickly, and won't handle the heat of road courses.
* When we ask our cars to do triple duty, we need different pads.
But for Pete's sake, for the street, we want modern supercar level braking performance with a street pad. Where we can drive our toys on the street, enjoy long pad & rotor life, not dust up the wheels & squeal at every stop light. This simply requires more clamping force from the brake calipers when we run street compound pads and want Supercar level braking.
The challenge was the calipers from these popular brands are not strong enough to increase the piston area ... without experiencing even more caliper flex & sponginess than they already do. If you're not familiar ... caliper flex means the driver is not getting the full braking force. A certain amount of the clamping force is lost to the flexing or "clam shelling" of the weak caliper body. You can feel it in the pedal too. As long as you don't have air in the lines, that "sponginess" the driver feels is caliper flex. The more the caliper flexes, the worse this condition is.
So I decided to come up with better brake systems for our multi-purpose Pro-Touring cars that can win in Autocross, run fast & hard on big, fast road courses & drive well in everyday street driving. The key was finding out who offered the strongest calipers, with the least amount of caliper flex & the space to handle the increased piston sizes. For me, it came down to who had the best caliper that met my criteria.
Enter an old friend from racing, Mark Cornwell. He came up through Formula car racing, had a career in Indy car racing working with the Andrettis. Then took an unknown brake company in the USA ... Brembo ... to dominating in NASCAR in the 90's & beyond. Today Mark runs the racing division of StopTech brakes, where StopTech has won a ton of road races, including Trans Am & GT championships. The StopTech calipers are strongest, most rigid, lowest flexing calipers … hands down. In equal comparison brake dyno tests ... same pad compounds, same line pressures, same rotors ... the StopTech calipers produced the highest brake torque & did so with the least caliper flex. Period.
So the foundation was set for me to design a superior line of brakes for Pro-Touring Muscle Cars to be Triple-Duty killers. All I had to do was design kits to fit muscle car spindles & spec what I wanted in the calipers, pads & rotors.
These StopTech Brakes from Ron Sutton Race Technology are a Game Changer!
What Makes These Brakes Better?
* The Most Rigid Calipers, Period.
* Lower Inertia 14" Rotors (Only 16.2#)
* Industry's Best Heat Dissipating AeroRotors®
* Stonger Hubs & Bigger Hub Bearings
* Street, Autocross, Track Day & Race Pads
* Patented Removable Bridge for Easy Pad Swaps
* Patented AeroHats® for Optimal Cooling Airflow to Rotors
What is the Real World Difference on Track?
* Shorter Stopping Distances
* Better Brake Modulation & Release
* Firmer Pedal Feel
* Less Brake Fade
What is the Real World Difference on the Street?
* Shorter Stopping Distances
* Firmer Pedal Feel
* Significantly Less Brake Squeal
* Longer Pad & Rotor Life = Less Expense
* Substantially Less Wheel Dust Up & Wheel Cleaning
