Panamera: 420mm Front, 380mm Rear
This Porsche Panamera pairs yellow Porsche OEM Akebono 10-piston front calipers with STOPFLEX long-fiber carbon ceramic rotors. The photo sequence shows the front calipers laid out before fitting; red Porsche-branded calipers are visible at the rear.

- Rear: STOPFLEX 380mm long-fiber carbon ceramic rotors.
One reason to consider a carbon ceramic rotor is its potential to reduce rotating, unsprung mass. STOPFLEX says a like-size ceramic disc can be materially lighter than iron, reducing the mass the suspension must control. That makes rotor material a useful question alongside the choice of front caliper hardware for a Panamera build.
The comparison needs the whole requested package in view. This photo set includes front calipers, rotors and associated hardware, while no before-and-after weights are recorded. Ask for a matched component comparison if weight reduction is a priority; a general material claim cannot establish this car's total saving or handling change.
Long-fiber construction adds a duty choice. STOPFLEX describes continuous strands as providing higher strength and thermal durability, with distinct Street, Track-Day and Motorsport versions. A road-focused owner can discuss Long-Fiber Street; regular circuit use brings a review of pads, fluid and cooling alongside a higher-duty rotor.
Confirm the Vehicle Before the Kit
The related Panamera Akebono kit listing is generation-specific and specifies 440mm/410mm rather than this case's 420mm/380mm. Confirm vehicle identity, rear caliper details and exact wheels before specifying a similar package.
Send your Panamera year or VIN/build details, current calipers and wheels to check a matching 420mm/380mm package.
