The AeroRotors supplied with this kit are coated with a water soluable, environmen-
tally friendly rust inhibitor. This coating MUST BE WASHED OFF WITH SOAP
AND WATER before installation. Brake cleaner is not as effective as soap and water.
Even if it doesn’t look as if anything is coming off the rotor, the rust inhibitor is there
and must be entirely cleaned. Rotors will quickly rust without protection. If the
rotor is not rusty, it’s still coated. After cleaning, you will see the rotor immediately
start to develop a slight rust color. This is normal and desirable as it indicates all the
rust inhibitor has been removed.
Proper rotor and pad break-in is essential to the performance of your new brake
system. Failure to properly break-in the brakes will seriously impact how well they
work and how long they last. The number one cause of brake vibration is uneven pad
material deposition on the rotor. Proper break-in will greatly minimize such prob-
lems.
Follow the break-in procedures listed later in this manual as closely as possible.

Do not assume your wheels will fit. An outline drawing of your StopTech Big
Brake kit is available on our website at http://www.stoptech.com. Measure the
distance from the outer face of your stock caliper to the inner face of your wheel
spokes, or make a template according to the instructions on the website and deter-
mine if a wheel spacer may be necessary. DO THIS BEFORE YOU INSTALL
YOUR KIT!
If you have any questions about wheel fitment, rotor cleaning or
break-in of a particular pad type, please call our Customer Service
Department @ 310-325-4799 X 105 or you can e-mail directly to
support@stoptech.com
