The build: Panamera 976 front CCB parts list
| Component | Installed on this Panamera 976 |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | Porsche Panamera (976) |
| Upgrade scope | Front axle |
| Front caliper | Akebono OEM Porsche 10-piston |
| Front rotor | STOPFLEX 440mm carbon ceramic |
| Pads | STOPFLEX high-performance ceramic |
| Hardware | Matching mounting bolts and fasteners |
| Wheels fitted | 21-inch |
Fitment first. This car runs 21-inch wheels, but a 21-inch wheel by itself proves nothing about clearance. Inner barrel shape, spoke profile, caliper envelope, and rotor hat offset all have to be checked against your exact wheels before you order a 440mm front kit.
What the upgrade actually changes
| STOPFLEX feature | Why it matters on a Panamera 976 | What you notice |
|---|---|---|
| 440mm carbon ceramic front rotor | The front axle does most of the work hauling down a heavy, fast GT. A bigger rotor gives that work more surface and more mass to soak up heat. | Brake feel that holds up on a long mountain descent or repeated stops from speed instead of going soft. |
| Carbon ceramic construction (about half the weight of same-size steel) | Every pound here is unsprung and rotating mass at the corner the suspension has to control. | The front end feels a touch quicker to react and settles faster over rough pavement. |
| Akebono OEM 10-piston front caliper | More pistons spread clamp load evenly across a long pad, which suits a car this heavy and this quick. | A firmer, more linear pedal under hard braking rather than a vague initial bite. |
| STOPFLEX ceramic pads + CCB rotor | The pad and rotor are matched, so you get low dust and no rusty rotor face after the car sits in the rain. | Wheels that stay clean for weeks and rotors that still look good through the spokes. |
What gets better
- Lower front rotor weight than a same-size steel disc
- More thermal headroom for repeated hard stops
- Firmer, more consistent pedal under load
- Far less visible brake dust with STOPFLEX pads
- No orange rust on the rotor face after rain
- A brake package that looks the part behind 21-inch wheels
What to confirm first
- Your exact Panamera 976 variant
- Wheel size plus inner barrel and spoke clearance
- Caliper envelope and rotor hat offset against your wheels
- Pad compound matched to how you drive
- Correct mounting hardware and rotor centering
- A proper bed-in after install

FAQ
What front brake parts went on this Porsche Panamera 976?
Akebono OEM Porsche 10-piston front calipers, STOPFLEX 440mm front carbon ceramic rotors, STOPFLEX high-performance ceramic pads, and matching mounting hardware. This is a front-axle upgrade.
Why does a Panamera 976 need a 440mm front carbon ceramic rotor?
The Panamera is a heavy, fast GT, and the front axle absorbs most of the braking load. A 440mm STOPFLEX CCB rotor adds thermal capacity for repeated hard stops and cuts roughly half the rotor weight of a same-size steel disc.
Does this 440mm CCB kit fit every Panamera 976 on 21-inch wheels?
No. A 21-inch wheel is only the starting point. Inner barrel clearance, spoke shape, caliper profile, and rotor hat offset all have to be checked against your exact wheels before ordering.
Will carbon ceramic brakes still work for daily driving?
Yes, with the right pad compound and a proper bed-in. For a daily-driven Panamera the everyday wins are far less brake dust, lighter front rotors, and rotors that won't show orange rust after rain.
What should I confirm before ordering a Panamera 976 CCB upgrade?
Your exact Panamera variant, wheel size and inner clearance, caliper and rotor hat fitment, pad compound, mounting hardware, and how you actually drive the car. Send us those details and we'll verify fit.
