Confirm before you order
Wheel clearance is the one thing to verify first. A 380mm rotor paired with a larger fixed front caliper needs room behind the spokes, and rotor diameter alone doesn't guarantee fit — barrel shape, spoke profile, and offset all play in. Send your exact wheel spec and we'll check it against this setup.
Why Carbon Ceramic on a 2.7-Ton MPV
| STOPFLEX feature | Why it matters on the Zeekr 009 | What you notice |
|---|---|---|
| Long-fiber carbon ceramic rotors | A loaded 009 dumps serious heat into the brakes on a long mountain descent. At 900°C the tested rotor surface friction still holds around 0.3μ, so there's real headroom before the pedal goes soft. | Your tenth stop feels like your first — no fade creeping in on a long downhill run. |
| About half the weight of steel rotors | This van is heavy, and every kilo of rotor is unsprung weight the air suspension has to control. | The suspension settles quicker over expansion joints and broken pavement — the rows behind you feel it first. |
| Forged monoblock 6-piston front caliper | A single-piece forged body flexes less under load than a bolted multi-piece caliper, so pedal input turns into clamp instead of caliper spread. | A firmer top of stroke and cleaner control through the last bit of travel when you're easing a full van to a smooth stop. |
| STOPFLEX pads, very low dust | In a quiet, chauffeur-grade EV, dust-coated wheels stand out far more than they would on a combustion car. | OEM wheels stay clean between washes, and the rotors don't rust after rain or a car wash. |
| Strong cold and warm bite | An MPV gets cold-started and driven straight into traffic; you can't wait for brakes to warm up with passengers aboard. | Normal-temp friction over 0.4μ and a normal first stop even near -20°C — no warm-up window, no first-stop hesitation. |
What gets better
- Firmer top of pedal and more linear modulation through the middle of the stroke
- Stable friction on long descents where a steel rotor would heat-soak and soften
- Lower unsprung mass for a more composed ride on the air suspension
- Very low brake dust and rotors that don't rust between trips
- Street lifespan that can reach roughly 250,000–300,000 km when you're not tracking it
What to confirm first
- Wheel clearance for the 380mm rotor and larger front caliper — verify before ordering
- The rear keeps the factory caliper, so the electronic parking brake stays intact
- Regenerative braking is unchanged; this is the friction hardware only
- Front-and-rear rotor scope on this build, paired with STOPFLEX compound pads

Zeekr 009 Brake FAQ
Why bother upgrading the brakes on a Zeekr 009?
The 009 is a heavy luxury EV MPV with instant torque, so loaded highway stops and long downhill runs dump a lot of heat into the friction brakes. A STOPFLEX carbon ceramic setup is chosen for better heat stability, lower unsprung weight, cleaner wheels, and a firmer, more consistent pedal whether the van is empty or full.
Does this upgrade change the Zeekr 009's regenerative braking?
No. Regen is handled by the 009's electric drive system. This upgrade changes the mechanical friction hardware only and leaves the regeneration logic alone.
How is the rear handled with the electronic parking brake?
The build keeps the factory rear caliper so the electronic parking brake function stays intact, and pairs it with a larger STOPFLEX rear carbon ceramic rotor using the correct mounting arrangement.
Will 380mm carbon ceramic rotors clear every Zeekr 009 wheel?
Always confirm clearance before ordering. Rotor diameter is only part of the equation — spoke shape, barrel design, caliper profile, and wheel offset all matter. Send us your wheel details and we'll check it.
Will the STOPFLEX rotors rust after rain or a car wash?
No. STOPFLEX carbon ceramic rotors don't rust after rain exposure, which keeps a premium EV that sits parked between trips looking factory-fresh behind the wheels.
