I am especially sad, since I designed many brake packages utilizing StopTech Brake calipers & rotors. I loved working with Mark Cornwell at StopTech (who came over from Brembo) & other StopTech Employees & Engineers. They're all gone. Sad.
But if you have StopTech big brakes, do not fear. Pads, rotors & small parts are readily available & will continue.

For race & track pads, almost every brake pad manufacturer continues to make their brake pads that fit the StopTech brake calipers.
For rotors, they are the same as Brembo. Literally a copy. So is the hardware. A 355mmx32mm Brembo rotor is the same as 355mmx32mm StopTech rotor.
Anyone that sells rotors for Brembo, has rotors for your StopTech brakes. GiroDisc & Alcon also carry rotors that fit.
