Torrance, Calif--StopTech LLC announces a series of brake upgrade kits for the 2003 Nissan 350Z as the latest addition to its line of Balanced Brake upgrades. StopTech has released two front-upgrade systems and a four-wheel upgrade for the 350Z. StopTech offers a 332x32mm front upgrade that works with the stock 7-spoke 17-inch wheel. For customers with the 18-inch performance wheels or the 18-inch Track wheels StopTech has a 355x32 front kit. Each front kit includes floating directional rotors with 7075 T6 billet Aluminum directional hats, front DOT compliant stainless steel brake lines and four piston ST-40 calipers with high performance brake pads. Each front kit is balanced with the stock rear system to provide optimum stopping distances and better pedal modulation than other upgrades.

The four wheel brake system includes a pair of 355x32mm front and a pair of 355x32mm rear, high performance AeroRotors® with directional billet aluminum hats, four, four piston StopTech ST-40 calipers, caliper adapter brackets, high performance brake pads and stainless steel DOT compliant braided brake lines for front and rear. The StopTech 350Z four-wheel kit is a direct bolt on replacement of the stock system and is compatible with the OE drum parking brake and vehicle’s master cylinder.

The two-piece StopTech AeroRotor® assembly includes a floating hat system that resists coning during heating and cooling cycles. The patent pending directional hats induces more airflow over the outer surface of the rotors, providing additional cooling, improving overall system performance, and extending pad life.

The ST-40 Caliper features a patented bridge that makes the caliper up to two times stiffer than similar designs.

The StopTech Nissan 350Z balanced brake upgrade maintains optimum front to rear brake torque balance and is compatible with the stock master cylinder. StopTech achieves optimum front to rear balance by sizing the caliper pistons specifically for the 350Z versus other systems that use off the shelf calipers designed for different platforms. Benefits of balanced brake systems are shorter stopping distances, better brake pedal modulation and less pedal travel

The retail price for the Nissan 350Z 4 wheel Brake System: $4495. The retail price for the Nissan 332 mm 350Z upgrade is $1995. The retail price for the front only 355 mm 350Z upgrade is $2595.
