StopTech 328mm ST-40 Front Big Brake Kit Volkswagen Beetle 98-10

Want to upgrade your brakes? With the StopTech 328mm ST-40 Front Big Brake Kit for the Volkswagen New Beetle it will improve aesthetics and exceed stock brake performance by having larger rotors which will increase heat capacity, improved brake cooling dissipates absorbed heat and stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance. This kit include 2 piece floating directional 328mm x 28mm StopTech AeroRotors with 7075 T6 billet aluminum StopTech AeroHats, 4 piston StopTech ST-40 calipers, StopTech Stainless Steel front brake lines and StopTech Street Performance front brake pads. StopTech Big Brake Kits are available with black, red, or silver calipers and plain, slotted or crossdrilled rotors.

The key, however, is to increase heat capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting the stock front to rear brake torque ratio, also referred to as brake bias. Regardless of rotor diameter, brake pedal ratio, brake pad material, or number of pistons in your calipers, your maximum deceleration is limited every time by the tire to road interface. If the brake upgrade you select adds too much front brake torque (as many do), it will drastically shift the brake bias too far forward and reduce your cars ability to utilize the maximum traction of the tires at all four corners (even on ABS equipped cars), increasing stopping distances dramatically. In addition, too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult to modulate, which limits a drivers control of brake input.
