Confirm your brake package first
The 976 shipped with more than one factory caliper option, so this kit is matched to a specific setup. Before you order, confirm your caliper type and that your 21-inch wheel spokes clear the rotor and caliper. The rear is designed to keep the factory electronic parking brake working.
Why CCB suits the Panamera 976
| STOPFLEX feature | Why it matters on the Panamera 976 | What you notice |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon ceramic rotor, ~half the weight of same-size steel | The 976 is a big, heavy sedan, and these are large 440mm front rotors. Cutting that mass at each corner pulls weight off the suspension where it counts most. | Crisper turn-in and less busy ride over rough pavement. |
| High heat tolerance under repeated load | A fast Panamera scrubbing speed from a highway run or a long downhill grade dumps serious heat into the rotors. Carbon ceramic holds composure where iron starts to fade. | Pedal feel stays consistent instead of going long on the third or fourth hard stop. |
| Very low dust with matched STOPFLEX pads | Open 21-inch wheels show every bit of brake dust. Less dust means the faces of those wheels stay clean. | Wheels you can go a couple weeks without scrubbing. |
| No surface rust after rain or washing | Iron rotors flash orange on the friction face after the car sits wet. Carbon ceramic doesn't. | Clean rotor faces behind the spokes, even on a garage queen. |
| Long-fiber CCB construction | Street-driven, off track, the rotors are built to last roughly 250,000 to 300,000 km, so you're not buying rotors every few years on a high-mileage Panamera. | One set that likely outlives several steel replacements. |
What gets better
- Less unsprung weight at all four corners
- Steadier pedal during repeated high-speed stops
- Far less brake dust on the wheels
- No rusty rotor faces after wet weather
- Premium ceramic finish behind open spokes
What to confirm first
- Which factory caliper your 976 actually has
- That your 21-inch wheels clear the rotor and caliper
- Front and rear rotor sizing matches the application
- Rear application keeps the electronic parking brake intact

Panamera 976 CCB FAQ
Does this upgrade keep the factory Panamera 976 calipers?
Yes. It's a rotor-based upgrade built to run with the factory multi-piston calipers on the Panamera 976, including the larger 10-piston front setup. Confirm your exact brake package before ordering, since the 976 shipped with more than one caliper option.
What rotor sizes are shown on this Panamera 976 build?
This build runs a 440mm STOPFLEX carbon ceramic rotor up front with the factory 10-piston caliper and a 410mm rotor at the rear with the factory 4-piston caliper, fitted behind 21-inch wheels.
How is this different from factory PCCB?
You get the same core carbon ceramic ownership benefits as PCCB: roughly half the rotor weight of steel, very low dust with matched pads, strong heat resistance, and no surface rust. It's most relevant if your 976 didn't come with PCCB or you're weighing replacement options.
Will the rear rotors still work with the electronic parking brake?
The Panamera 976 rear rotor setup is designed to keep the factory electronic parking brake working normally. Match the correct application to your car before buying.
How long do STOPFLEX carbon ceramic rotors last on the street?
In normal street use, off track, STOPFLEX carbon ceramic rotors can last roughly 250,000 to 300,000 km. That can easily outlast several sets of steel rotors in the same driving.
