Stoptech 14 inch trophy no 6 piston for ct9a?

Anyone have the 14 inch 4 piston trophy on their car? I was originally going to get the six piston version but they are only made for the evo X.
If I can only get 4 piston not sure it's worth the price compared to the st40 kit.
Wonder if theres any point to getting the st60 for more stopping power.

Given that evo x caliper and rotors bolt on ct9a I'm not positive there's a fitment issue aside from 18" rims

Thats confusing Hope that to be the case but i've yet to see anyone rocking them on the evo 7-9 yet.
If that were true about the X having same bolt pattern wouldn't it be a cheap upgrade for people to put evo X brembo's on ct9a's?

It is and has been done by many. The rotors are not massively larger though. And I recall the same backing plate being called for.

I prefer stoptechs properly valved front/rear bias. Plus that ap is not even a 355.

Just out of curiosity, what information do you know/have to prove that the stoptech big brake upgrades are the only ones that are properly valved for front rear bias?
I will say, they do seem to be the few that offer a matching rear caliper. My favorites are the Brembo Gt and GTR kits, but 4 piston rear calipers seem a bit overkill. I think Stoptechs idea of keeping a 2 piston rear caliper seems more proper, imo.



With that said, if I needed a big brake kit, and I went with stoptechs, I would go trophy kit. One nice advantage is the hard anodizing finish vs the painted calipers. Ive seen some tracked on stoptechs, and that shiny red has turned into a dull maroon.

Mine is ST40/ ST22 but haven't used them since it is still being built.
I bought a used, and when I say used I mean used, set for like $1500 and had them rebuilt. Cost wasn't bad for the coating/ rebuild but new rotors where big $$$$. I am going to run the Ti shims so hopefully the finish will not fade or discolor. All in I think it cost me about $3k with redoing the calipers, new rotor rings, and re-anodizing the rotor hats.
I don't have any proof but it seems that their bias is a pretty good fit from what I have read.


Can't locate a before pics but here is the after pic.

I highly recommend AP Racing, I love mine. I use my 8 purely as a track car and I can't possibly need any more caliper than this.

We do not offer a 6-piston 355x32 kit for the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Evo, only a 4-piston. Only for the 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Evo that we offer a 6-piston 355x32 kit. If you decided to get our Trophy BBK, it is the same size rotors and only the caliper body and rotor hats are different.
