Stoptech Brakes, NSX Trophy Brake System

I don't have a problem with this, but if you're going to use my pictures to advertise your products, maybe at least give a link to my blog? ie "pics courtesy of www.synth19.com, etc etc. This way, both parties benefit.

I'm bumping this request.

We made sure that the photos on this link have your website. Is this not correct?

Will these fit with the 18/19" volk gt-v's you sell on your site without the need for spacers? Let me know thanks

GTV's are discontinued now IIRC. They will fit with a 5mm spacer in the front. I didn't test the rear though.

yea i have gt-v's on my car... was just wondering if these would fit... I had the 5mm spacer on the fronts but the tires scrub the fender liner when I hit bumps unless i raise the car up with the spacer installed.

You could run more neg camber up front, thinner tires, and it will probably work with a 5mm spacer. But really, the spoke design limits BBK's on this wheel. GTV's are not the most ideal for this.

if you print out the fitment template provided on SoS site you can check if the stoptech's will fit your wheels directly.

Has anyone tried to take these new rear stoptech e-brakes off?

After removing the bolts the unit is still held in place by the ridges around the bolt tubes. the brakes pads are ratcheted up close to the disc and can't be retracted. The Stoptech ST-10 manual describes how to retract the pads, but it assumes the whole e-brake is already off the car !?

Any suggestions appreciated

Did you use a set of shims included with the kit. I used about 3mm worth of shims and was able to remove the parking brake 2-3 times with success.

On a separate note, I created a DIY for a stoptech install here:

Well I figured out recently I can get them off by pushing the black tube back, then caliper comes off OK.

I'm not sure that's what the shims are meant for ... installation looks wrong in that photo. Is the bolt done up ?
