    Stoptech washer issue

    I spent some time yesterday with the VP of Sales for Stoptech and he is going to take care of us that had issues with our mounting hardware, please PM me if you had issues and I will get him a list so he can send out replacement hardware. He told me they revised the washer and it should fix the issue.

    This is great news but the bad hardware cause my rotor ring to slot way more than it should have. I was one that had to spend money on new hardware and a new ring. I only replaced one but I need to look at the other one hard prior to TWS.

    I agree w/ Jerry, the hardware fix is nice but the trashed rotor rings are the bigger problem.

    If we can build a big enough case I will see what I can do and maybe try to get new rings, do we think the wallerin is a result of poor hardware at this point?

    No doubt. Stoptech said they would not admit the hardware caused the rotor wear issue but they sold me a replacement ring for about half price. That was good of them but obviously they new it was their fault. I purchased the Stoptech kit just because I saw others not having to carry extra rotors to every event. If the hardware did not cause the rotor wear those damn rings may last ten seasons! I have three seasons on the one rotor that I have not had to replace. What I don't know is why one side wore out and the other did not.
