The build: what's on the car
| Vehicle | Porsche Macan (95B) |
|---|---|
| Front setup | Factory fixed 6-piston caliper with STOPFLEX 396mm carbon ceramic rotor |
| Rear setup | Factory 4-piston caliper with STOPFLEX 370mm carbon ceramic rotor |
| Upgrade type | Rotor-only, direct-fit; application-specific aluminum hats locate rotors on factory calipers |
| Pads | STOPFLEX low-dust ceramic compound |
| Quoted weight saving | Roughly 22kg total versus the factory iron discs |
| Wheel fit | Designed to clear OEM 20-inch and 21-inch wheels for this package |
Confirm before you order: this kit is built for Macan 95B cars with the factory fixed 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers — usually S, GTS, and Turbo trims. Macan trims and regional builds vary, so verify your actual caliper and wheel hardware. The model name alone isn't enough.
What the upgrade actually does
| STOPFLEX feature | Why it matters on a Macan | What you notice |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon ceramic rotors, about half the weight of same-size steel | A performance SUV carries real mass, and rotors are unsprung and rotating weight — the worst kind for ride and steering. This package is quoted at roughly 22kg off the corners. | Quicker steering turn-in, a lighter feel over broken pavement, and suspension that settles faster. |
| Long-fiber CCB construction | Long fiber handles repeated heat cycling and mechanical stress better than chopped fiber, which matters on a heavy SUV that brakes hard from speed. | More consistent pedal feel when you lean on the brakes down a long grade instead of fade creeping in. |
| Heat-stable friction (around 0.3μ at 900°C; over 0.4μ at normal temp with STOPFLEX pads) | Iron rotors heat-soak and go soft after repeated stops. Carbon ceramic holds its friction far deeper into the heat range. | The pedal stays predictable when the brakes are hot, not just on the first stop. |
| Low-dust pads and rust-free rotors | Dark Macan wheels show iron dust fast, and iron discs throw rust rings after rain or a wash. | Cleaner wheels between washes and no orange rust ring staring back at you in the morning. |
| Street-focused durability | Carbon ceramic isn't just a track part here — on the street it's built to go the distance. | STOPFLEX states roughly 250,000–300,000 km of street life when the car isn't tracked. |
What gets better
- Roughly 22kg less unsprung and rotating mass for sharper turn-in and a calmer ride
- Very low brake dust when paired with STOPFLEX pads
- No rust rings after rain or washing — the finish stays clean behind the spokes
- More consistent braking when the system is hot, not just cold
- Normal cold bite even around -20°C on the first stop
- Long street life, roughly 250,000–300,000 km when not tracked
What to confirm first
- That your car runs the factory fixed 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers
- Your trim and regional build — S, GTS, and Turbo are the usual fit
- Wheel clearance for the 396mm front and 370mm rear rotors on your exact wheels
- That you want STOPFLEX pads to get the low-dust and friction numbers quoted

FAQ
Do I have to change my factory Macan calipers?
No. This is a rotor-only upgrade built around the factory Macan 95B fixed 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers. Application-specific aluminum hats locate the carbon ceramic rotors so they line up correctly with your original calipers.
Which Macan 95B trims does this fit?
It's built for Macan 95B cars running the factory fixed 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers, which typically means higher-spec trims like S, GTS, and Turbo. Trims and regional builds vary, so confirm your actual brake hardware before ordering.
How is this different from Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB)?
PSCB keeps brake dust down but still uses iron rotors. This STOPFLEX upgrade keeps the low-dust benefit and swaps the iron discs for carbon ceramic rotors, which take a much bigger chunk out of rotating and unsprung mass.
Will the rotors clear my factory wheels?
The 396mm front and 370mm rear setup is designed to clear OEM 20-inch and 21-inch wheels for this Macan brake package. Always verify wheel and brake hardware on your specific car before purchase.
Are carbon ceramic rotors okay for a daily-driven Macan?
Yes. STOPFLEX carbon ceramic rotors are made for street use. Paired with STOPFLEX pads you get very low dust, normal cold-weather bite even around -20°C on the first stop, and no rust rings after rain or a wash.
How long do these rotors last on the street?
For street driving without track use, STOPFLEX states carbon ceramic rotor life can reach roughly 250,000 to 300,000 km. Real-world life depends on your driving style, pad choice, and conditions.
