Replacement rotors/pads for StopTech BBK
Howdy. I picked up an STX-modified BRZ this past winter, primarily for AutoX but also track fun. I got in exactly one day of each before everything shut down.
The car came with a StopTech BBK in front, 328mm rotors. The rotors and pads both need replacing. (1) Rotors - This is my first experience with aftermarket brakes, and I was surprised (understatement) to learn that replacement rotor rings from StopTech will cost about $675 for the pair. Are there any alternatives? (2) Pads - Can anyone point me to a list of available replacement pads (assuming anyone other than StopTech makes pads to fit)? I'm not necessarily opposed to StopTech, I would just like to know what options I've got. I've already put DS2500s in the back. Cheers. |

Check on Counter Space Garage web page. Best selection of brake pads I have found.
Rotors, I don’t know. Check on their website. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have the same setup, the biggest downside is the cost of the friction rings. The friction rings go on sale every now and then, I got a set off rallysportdirect 20% off and set them aside. I have done 3 years on mine and they are just getting to the point I will likely need to replace them the end of this year.
I have been running the CSG C1 pad front and rear and I am very happy with them except, they wear the rotors a lot in cold weather. So for street driving I would recommend swapping them for a street pad.

If you don't like Ferodo, the Hawks DTC30 is very similar to the DS2500, the DTC60 is the DSUNO equivalent, and the DTC70 is a track pad that won't heat up for autox but bites hard once up to temperature. I've daily driven all these options except the DTC70 (I've got a 6mi commute, track or autox every weekend that's not shutdown for the pandemic, and don't mind the noise) but I've also had people literally pull forwards a car length when I brake behind them at stoplights. |

For anyone who comes here with the same questions, I think I found an an answer to the second. I can't say if it's comprehensive, but it's got a lot of options: https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/i...k6mr64adslshp7

Thanks, 14STU, that's helpful. I'll probably go with the DS 2500. Thoughts: AutoX is the priority, at least after avoiding fade; the track may get squeezed out a bit this year, to make room for more AutoX in a shortened season; and the local track has straights of 2,800' and 1,400', which I think helps with the brake temps a bit. |

I always like to have a fresh set on standby, but before the mess I was scheduled for 40 trackdays. I'm hoping to still get in more than last year (32 plus 11 autox events), but that's starting to look unlikely (I only got in 7 days before lockdown). |

Personally, especially since you have BBKs up front. Get brake pads for AutoX and for the Track.
The DS2500s and DS1.11s are compound cross compatible, so you won't run into issues there. You'll be able to run the 2500s in the rear and still be okay, but at least have 1.11s up front.

Ditto, at least to the general recommendation. Any time I've tried to just run autocross friendly pads at the track I regret the compromised stopping power- doesn't matter what car. Similarly, living with true track pads on the street is torture: bad performance, crummy noise.

Ive never had any issues running Carbotech XP8s, XP10s, and PFC 11 pads on the street and at the track for whole track seasons. I haven't swapped pads before/after events for *years*.

Even on a track day that was damp and there where rain showers they would smear on the rotors. They are also loud as hell on the street.
