Stainless Steel Brake Line Advisory
StopTech stainless steel brake lines are designed as direct replacement parts for stock brake lines. The replacement lines typically follow the same routing as the stock lines. While the design is tolerant of slight variations in the intended vehicle, any excessive lowering or raising of the vehicle may make the lines unsuitable for use on that particular car, truck or SUV. Also, the lines include provisions for routing attachments on the stock suspension such as brackets on the strut. If an aftermarket suspension is on the vehicle, the stock mounting points may not be on those components.
If alternate routing or modifications are required it is the sole responsibility of the installer to assure the lines are not binding or touching any part of the suspension or drive train. Inspect the line routing through the entire range of suspension travel, both up and down and left-to-right. If there is any doubt as to the safe installation of the brake lines, do not drive the vehicle until there is absolute assurance the lines are safely routed.

Ordering
Please order by part number; this saves time and prevents errors.
Payment
Payment is accepted via wire transfer or credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Custom/ Special Orders
Specially designed, fabricated or modified parts must be paid in advance and are not returnable/ refundable, unless arrangements have been made prior to shipment. At the time of order, a non-refundable deposit of 15% may be charged on Big Brake Kits with Yellow or Blue calipers. On certain rare OEM replacement rotors, a 50% deposit may be required. COD cash orders may require a 15% non-refundable deposit. Orders will not be entered and/ or processed without the proper deposit. The need for deposits will be at the discretion of the StopTech sales associate handling the order.
Taxes
Sales tax will be charged on all California deliveries, unless a valid CA resale certificate is on file for the consignee. For international orders, taxes are charged by the local customs authority, unless pre-paid. International tax rates shown on our e-commerce site are to advise customers of tax rates and are not guaranteed to be correct. Even if an international tax rate is quoted on our e-commerce site, StopTech will NOT bill the customer for taxes unless prepayment of taxes is specifically requested. Tax rates are not shown for all countries and StopTech is not responsible for any differences between taxes quoted and taxes charged.
Freight
Unless otherwise specified or agreed to or mandated by weight, all North American goods are shipped by UPS surface freight, pre-paid and added to the invoice. International orders are shipped via the most economical airfreight. All freight charges are invoiced at actual cost and no handling charges are billed for standard freight. The customer can specify alternate carriers and/ or freight collect, at time of order. See Shipping Times Map on www.stoptech.com.
Shipping Policy
Orders will ship as soon as they are ready assuming payment has been received. Credit cards are charged on the day of shipment. With the exception of will call orders, StopTech does not call the customer when their order is ready. For customers with terms, all orders with a valid PO# will be boxed and shipped out as soon as the parts are available, and the customer will be invoiced.
Will Call Orders
Will call orders must be picked up within 5 business days of notification that the product is available. After 6 days, the order will be returned to stock or will be used to fill an existing order for another customer. A 10% cancellation/restocking fee may apply.
Insurance
Shipments may be insured at the customer's request. UPS insurance rates
are $0.35 / $100 declared value.
Sales Conditions
Prices and product availability are subject to change. Please verify prices
and availability prior to ordering. By placing an order you agree to be
bound by these Terms and Conditions.
Freight Damage
The receiving party must make any and all damage claims with the responsible
carrier, preferably at the time of delivery. For UPS shipments only, the
customer must report damage to UPS, and then contact StopTech to handle
the claim.
Wheel to Caliper Clearance
StopTech strives to provide maximum wheel clearance. Nevertheless, stock
wheels will not fit most big brake kits. A BBK with 328mm or 332mm rotors
requires 17 inch wheels, a BBK with 355mm rotors requires 18 inch wheels,
and a BBK with 380mm rotors requires 19 inch wheels. Spoke clearance is
equally critical in wheel selection. Final wheel fitment is the responsibility
of the customer. StopTech is not responsible for wheel fitment. Refer to
the Wheel
Fitment section of our web site to download the wheel fitment template
for your Big Brake Kit, and followthe instructions on that page.
Wheel Spacers
If there is interference, different wheels or a wheel spacer will be necessary. Wheel spacers can provide extra wheel spoke clearance. Longer lug studs or wheel bolts may be required if wheel spacers are used. Spacers will move the entire wheel outward, widening the track width of the vehicle as well as moving the outer edge of the tire closer to the fender. Basic suspension settings will generally not be adversely affected by a slight widening (up to 3mm per side) of the track. Fender-to-tire clearances must be checked, especially on lowered cars. The relationship between the wheel-centering register, the spacer and the wheel in its new position must also be checked. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure wheel spacers are properly specified and installed.
Note that due to commonality of hats, rotors and caliper specifications between applications, the wheel fit chart used for your vehicle may be labeled for a different vehicle, i.e., a Nissan 300ZX rear BBK uses the same fit chart as a Nissan 350Z rear BBK. This does not mean the kits are the same, only that the disc and caliper are positioned the same relative to the wheel mounting surface.
If you have any questions, please e-mail support@stoptech.com or call +1 310-325-4799 x3105.
Brake Vibration
Brake Noise
Certain brake pad compounds make more noise than others. Proper anti-squeal
shim plates between the caliper pistons and backing plate of the pad help
reduce the problem. Anti-squeal lubricants are also available to reduce
some of the noise. Performance pads are more prone to brake squeal. The
customer is responsible for any squeal related problems due to pad selection.
Returns
To return goods for exchange or credit, please contact Product Support to
obtain an RMA (Returned Materials Authorization) number. Any item(s) received
without an RMA, will be refused and returned. All returned goods must be
in their original packaging or equivalent that meets or exceed the requirements
for shipping the corresponding goods. All items must be properly wrapped
and packed for shipment. All goods must be returned freight pre-paid and
insured. To obtain full credit, returned goods must be unused and in new
condition. Credits are for the value of the goods only. Refused shipment
returns will be charged a re-stocking charge of 15% + freight, or a minimum
of $25 + freight, whichever is higher. No exceptions.
