This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required. Note: The Wheel Industry Council has issued guidelines advising wheel spacers not be used. It is the responsibility of the customer to insure wheel spacers are properly specified and installed.Brake Vibration – THIS IS IMPORTANT!
The most common cause of brake vibration is improper bedding of pads and rotors or improper pad selection for the specific driving environment. Rotor runout may also cause vibration, but precision manufacturing and inspection typically means runout is not an issue. Double disc grinding insures the rotor runout is within +/- 0.002” when installed on our aluminum hat and controls thickness variation within 0.0003”. Under the most extreme conditions, any rotor may warp, but uneven pad deposition is a more typical vibration cause. If the system is not properly bedded in, or street pads are run on an open track, uneven pad deposits will occur causing an ever worsening vibration. Failure to immediately address a pad deposition/vibration issue may lead to permanent damage of the rotors. Please read and understand the bed-in procedures included with this manual. If you have any questions, please contact the StopTech Customer Service Department for assistance.
