Ron Sutton & StopTech Introduce the Ultimate Triple Duty Brakes

Ron Sutton & StopTech Team Up
to Introduce the Ultimate Triple Duty Brake Packages
for Street, Autocross & Track Days … for Muscle Cars !

I am Proud to Announce We’ve Launched My New Line of Ron Sutton Race Technology Optimized Brakes designed & built in conjunction with the Leader in Road Racing Brakes, StopTech.

Why did I develop a new line of brakes?
I was 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 wasn’t sure we could develop a brake system that would work great on the street, autocross & road courses with a single pad compound. But we did …
* Usually, pad compounds engineered to work well for the street, can't handle the heat generated on track days and don't provide good enough "cold bite" for optimum autocross needs. Our system does.
* Race pads that manage the heat generated on road courses typically dust up the wheels & wear quickly. Ours doesn’t!
* Autocross pads that have good cold bite, won't handle the heat of road courses. Ours does both well.
* When we ask our cars to do triple duty, we typically need different pads. Not with our new system.

In ProTouring we want modern supercar level braking performance for the street 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 requires more clamping force from the brake calipers combined with a cutting edge brake pad that has good cold bite and a wide temperature operating range. That is what we have here to produce Supercar level braking that shines on the street, autocross & road course.

The initial challenge for me 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 ‘90s & 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 the strongest 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 for Triple-Duty use. All I had to do was design kits to fit muscle car spindles & spec what I wanted in the calipers, pads & rotors.

These brakes are legit.

Clean release, great pedal feel, easy to modulate, no need to change pads for track days for most drivers and tracks, very low dust and zero noise.



My wife thought they were power assisted.
