Tesla Model 3 Performance / Model 3 Carbon Ceramic Brakes Kit
Official Warranty: 1‑year free replacement for quality defects or coating issues under normal (non-track) use.
2018-2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance / Model 3 Carbon Ceramic Brake Kits
2018-2023 Model 3 buyers split between the standard 320/335 mm brake car and the Performance car with the larger 355 mm front setup. This platform sees a lot of daily use, regen-heavy commuting, and occasional HPDE interest, so sizing and caliper compatibility are the main upgrade questions.
- Body style: Sedan
- Front rotor reference: Perf: 355mm; Model 3: 320mm
- Rear rotor reference: Perf/Model 3: 335mm
This is an OEM-size replacement kit. The rotors are built to the factory rotor spec and install with the factory caliper when the front caliper is a fixed design and the rotor spec matches. The included pad shape matches the OEM pad shape. If the car uses aftermarket calipers such as Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, or Wilwood, provide the exact caliper model and StopFlex can supply the matching pad shape. Direct replacement is not confirmed if the front caliper is floating, or if the car already runs a non-OEM-offset rotor and the actual rotor dimensions cannot be supplied.
Why StopFlex CCB
Lightweight
Half the Weight, Sharper Handling. StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors shed roughly half the mass of equivalent iron discs. This massive drop in unsprung weight instantly transforms your chassis, delivering sharper turn-in response and a significantly more refined road feel.
High-Temp Resistance
Minimal Brake Fade at 900°C (1652°F). While traditional iron rotors severely fade under heavy track loads, our CCB matrix holds a stable 0.30μ friction coefficient even at 900°C (1652°F). You get consistent, predictable stopping power when things get dangerously hot.
Corrosion Resistance
100% Rust-Free Durability. Say goodbye to flash rust after a car wash or heavy rain. The carbon-silicon carbide material is naturally impervious to corrosion, ensuring your brake rotors look completely clean and pristine no matter the weather conditions.
Long Lifespan
250,000+ km (155,000+ mi) Lifespan. Iron rotors typically require replacement around 100,000 km (62,000 mi). In normal street driving conditions, a StopFlex CCB rotor can easily last 250,000 to 300,000 km (155,000 to 186,000 mi), effectively outlasting the vehicle itself.
Ultra-Low Dust
Ultra-Low Visible Brake Dust. Heavy black dust destroying your wheel finish is a thing of the past. When paired with our matched StopFlex pads, these rotors generate virtually zero visible brake dust, keeping your premium wheels spotless for much longer.
Premium Visual Finish
Premium Mirror-Like Finish. StopFlex utilizes a patented ceramic formula that cures with a distinct crackle pattern. The surface is machined dead-smooth for high reflectivity, providing a premium aesthetic behind open wheels under the right lighting.
High Normal-Temp Friction
Strong Initial Bite (0.40μ+). With matched StopFlex pads, normal-temperature friction can exceed 0.40μ for a firmer pedal feel and strong initial bite.
Long-Fiber Construction
Continuous Long-Fiber Strength. StopFlex utilizes a continuous long-fiber 3D matrix. This structure is significantly stronger and offers higher thermal conductivity than standard chopped-fiber OEM CCM discs.
Cold First-Stop Confidence
Reliable Cold-Bite at -20°C (-4°F). Coated street rotors still deliver normal first-stop braking at -20°C (-4°F). Uncoated motorsport rotors are the exception.
Important heat note
Carbon ceramic does not shed heat as fast as steel. Long hard driving can heat-soak the rest of the brake system, including fluid, seals, and nearby parts. Unless the car already has strong brake cooling, or you plan to upgrade brake cooling, prolonged aggressive driving is not recommended.
Rotor options
Street Spec
Ceramic coating + cross-drilled face + large cooling channels.
Best for daily-driven Model 3s wanting lighter, cleaner, lower-maintenance braking without overbuilding the setup.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels.
Best match for Model 3 Performance or mixed-use cars that see repeated hard stops and want more thermal margin.
Motorsport Spec
No coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels. Not for normal street use.
Choose only for the most aggressive track builds where brake endurance and repeated-session stability outweigh cost and packaging.

FAQ
Will a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit for a 2018-2023 Tesla Model 3 fit my factory calipers, or is it only for aftermarket calipers?
That depends on whether your car is the standard 320/335 mm brake setup or the Performance 355/335 mm front setup. If you already run an aftermarket big-brake conversion, confirm exact caliper model and bracket geometry before ordering.
Which StopFlex carbon ceramic size should I choose for my 2018-2023 Tesla Model 3 or Model 3 Performance?
For the standard Model 3, the correct starting point is the 320 mm front and 335 mm rear sizing; Performance cars start from the 355 mm front and 335 mm rear factory envelope. If your goal is mostly street use, stay close to the factory package size, while repeated hard use justifies the larger thermal headroom of the more track-focused setup.
Is a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit on a 2018-2023 Tesla Model 3 still a good daily-driver upgrade, including cold first stops?
Yes, that is usually the key concern for this car because many owners use strong regen in normal driving and want predictable friction only when they need it. For a street-focused build, choose the setup aimed at consistent daily use rather than the most aggressive track-biased option.
Do I need extra brake cooling if I upgrade my 2018-2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance to a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit for prolonged hard use?
For occasional canyon or short-session use, the kit alone may be enough if the rest of the system is matched correctly. For repeated HPDE laps, especially on Model 3 Performance cars using Track Mode, cooling airflow and the total setup still matter because factory-style rotor thickness has been a known endurance limit on track.
