The Ultimate Safety Upgrade: A Tesla Model Y with Brembo & STOPFLEX Carbon-Ceramic Brakes
The Tesla Model Y's instant, silent acceleration is a thrill, but managing its considerable weight—especially with family on board—demands a braking system with an unwavering margin of safety. For one owner, achieving that peace of mind meant upgrading to the definitive front-axle solution: a Big Brake Kit (BBK) featuring powerful Brembo GTS6 calipers paired with our advanced STOPFLEX 405mm carbon-ceramic rotors.
The Complete Front Big Brake System
This is a no-compromise overhaul of the factory front brakes, engineered for maximum safety and performance under the unique demands of a heavy, high-performance EV. The system consists of motorsport-grade components, including a powerful set of Brembo GTS6 six-piston calipers and our large **STOPFLEX 405mm Carbon-Ceramic Discs**. The crucial link between them is our proprietary **STOPFLEX Performance Pads formulated for Carbon-Ceramic Discs**, with stainless steel braided lines completing the package for a firm, responsive pedal.
Fitment Requirements for STOPFLEX Rotors
Our carbon-ceramic rotors are high-performance components requiring a compatible setup. This vehicle's Brembo GTS6 caliper system meets both critical conditions:
Caliper Type: The Brembo GTS6 is an opposed multi-piston (fixed) caliper, which is required for proper and safe operation.
Minimum Size: The system is designed for a massive 405mm disc, well above our 355mm minimum.
Key Advantages for the Tesla Model Y
Unwavering Confidence for Family Safety. This is the most important benefit. A heavy EV can place enormous stress on its brakes during an emergency stop. The combination of the powerful Brembo caliper and our fade-proof 405mm rotor provides the immense thermal capacity needed to bring the Model Y to a safe, controlled stop from any speed, time and time again. It’s about having an ultimate safety net you can always rely on.
A Smoother, More Agile Drive. It’s amazing how much lighter a car can feel by reducing weight in the right places. Our carbon-ceramic discs are up to 50% lighter than iron rotors of the same size. By removing this substantial unsprung mass from the front wheels, the Model Y's suspension can work more efficiently. The result is a noticeably smoother ride over bumps and sharper, more responsive steering that makes the car feel more agile and engaging to drive.
Engineered for Electric Driving. Regenerative braking is a fantastic feature, but it means the physical brakes are used less often, allowing ordinary iron rotors to develop rust and corrosion. This can lead to noise and inconsistent performance when you finally need them. Our **100% corrosion-proof** rotors are the perfect solution for an EV—they stay perfectly clean and silent, always ready to deliver full power the instant your foot touches the pedal.
Zero Dust for a Clean, Modern Look. Part of the Tesla appeal is its clean, minimalist aesthetic. Our ultra-low-dust pads preserve that look by keeping the beautiful 20-inch wheels pristine. It's the perfect finishing touch for a vehicle that represents the future of driving.

Questions from a Model Y Owner
Q: My Model Y uses regenerative braking most of the time. Why is such a powerful brake kit necessary?
A: Think of it as your ultimate safety system. Regenerative braking is great for efficiency, but in an emergency stop, or when regen is limited (like with a full battery or during spirited driving), your physical brakes do all the work. For a heavy car like the Model Y, having a fade-proof system with massive stopping power provides an essential margin of safety for you and your family.
Q: Will this system be noisy or harsh for a family car?
A: Not at all. It's designed for refined power. The Brembo calipers provide a smooth, progressive feel, and our pads are formulated for quiet, low-dust operation in daily driving. The improved ride comfort from the lighter rotors actually enhances the family-friendly nature of the car, especially for those commuting in cities like Singapore.
