Just Ordered the Complete StopTech Brake Package from FT86 SpeedFactory
In order to ensure the FRS is safe for my upcoming run at Road Atlanta on May 19th, I ordered the complete StopTech brake upgrade from our friends @FT-86 SpeedFactory.
This full kit comes with front and rear cross-drilled and slotted rotors (OEM size), pads, and stainless steel, braided brake lines. To make sure I don't boil my brake fluid at the end of those long straights at RA, I also added 4 bottles of Motul 600. As soon as the kit shows up, I will be posting pics of the install along with full driving impressions both on the street and at the track! Scott Wow! I really need to look more carefully where I post things. Mods, would you be so kind as to move to the Suspension/Brakes section?

I got an email from FT86 SpeedFactory and they said that the kit comes directly from StopTech so it may be 7-10 days.  Scott

Waiting for pics of cracked/failed rotors due to cross-drilled.
Came here for pics of Stoptech front/rear BBK and was disappointed.

I got slotted, never heard a good argument for the drilled rotors, and plenty reason not to run them

After your comment I started doing some research on cast rotors with holes drilled in them and well, let's just say I won't be installing them on my car. I tend to take safety pretty seriously and after going over the facts, cross-drilled rotors just aren't safe for someone like me who regularly is running autocross with occasional track days. I'll keep and install the pads, lines and fluid but the rotors are going up for sale as soon as I get them. Scott CORRECTION: I double-checked my order and these rotors are slotted only. Not drilled.
