Alcon TA6 6-Piston Caliper with StopFlex Carbon Ceramic Brake Disc Big Brake Kit
Official Warranty: 1‑year free replacement for quality defects or coating issues under normal (non-track) use.
StopFlex Carbon Ceramic Brake Disc Kit + Alcon TA6 6-Piston Calipers
A street-first carbon-ceramic + 6-piston front upgrade for fast road cars that still want honest heat headroom. Built around made-to-order StopFlex discs, StopFlex CNC-machined Aluminum Hats, Alcon TA6 Mono calipers, and a StopFlex CCB-optimized Pad Set (Match Your Calipers).
What changes for you (real-world):
- Less rotating mass: carbon-ceramic systems are commonly ~50% lighter than comparable cast-iron discs (size-dependent), helping response at the wheel.
- Cleaner wheels: lower visible dust with the correct CCB pad chemistry, and no orange “flash rust” look after rain or storage.
- More repeatable braking under heat: built for stacked high-energy stops when the system is correctly sized and bedded.
- Firm pedal you can trust: a stiff multi-piston front caliper helps reduce “caliper flex” feel in aggressive street driving.
Track note: Carbon-ceramic does not replace airflow. For long sessions, plan ducting/venting, fresh high-temp fluid, and inspection intervals like you mean it.
Fitment confirmation (we keep it simple):
- Year / Make / Model / Wheel Size (VIN helps)
If your car has multiple brake options, we may request one clear wheel-on photo (spokes + caliper area) to confirm spoke/barrel clearance before production.
Bolt-On Package List
| Item | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| StopFlex Street Carbon Ceramic Discs (C/SiC) | Made-to-order carbon-ceramic friction rings built in your confirmed sizes. | Stable surface behavior and a long replacement cycle when used as intended. |
| StopFlex CNC-machined Aluminum Hats | Vehicle-specific hats matched to your hub and wheel package. | Correct alignment, consistent pad sweep, and clean wheel/barrel clearance. |
| Alcon TA6 Mono (Front Calipers) | 6-piston front calipers paired to your rotor size and pad shape. | Stiff clamp feel and controlled pad loading for confident braking on fast road use. |
| StopFlex CCB-optimized Pad Set (Match Your Calipers) | CCB-specific pad compound selected to match your caliper shape and rotor surface. | Helps build a stable transfer layer and reduces “wrong pad on CCB” issues (noise, inconsistent bite, accelerated surface wear). |
| Vehicle-specific brackets + mounting fasteners | Application-matched hardware to position the caliper correctly on your knuckle/upright. | Keeps geometry correct, avoids “close enough” conversions, and helps maintain even wear. |
Note: Brake fluid is not included. If your platform benefits from stainless braided lines, we’ll recommend an appropriate set during fitment review.
Carbon-Ceramic + TA6 vs. Typical Iron Big-Brake Setups
| Item | StopFlex Carbon-Ceramic + TA6 | Iron Rotor Big-Brake Kits |
|---|---|---|
| Rotating mass (same size class) | Often about ~50% lighter than comparable cast-iron discs (size-dependent). | Heavier disc at the wheel; can feel less responsive over bumps and in quick transitions. |
| Service life (typical road use) | 250,000–300,000 km target for typical road use (conditions matter: vehicle weight, pad choice, heat load). | Common guidance is ~30,000–70,000 miles (≈48,000–113,000 km), strongly usage-dependent. |
| Corrosion & appearance | No flash rust look; stays visually clean behind the wheel. | Surface rust after rain/storage is normal; cosmetic “orange” is common. |
| Dust / wheel mess | Typically lower visible dust when pad chemistry is CCB-matched. | Dust varies by pad; many performance street/track pads are noticeably dusty. |
| Long-session track reality | Carbon-ceramic needs airflow planning: lower heat conductivity means heat can stay nearer the friction surface, so pads/fluid become the limit without ducts. | Iron spreads heat through the rotor more readily; still needs airflow, but is often more forgiving in long, heavy lapping when sized correctly. |
Bottom line: If you’re mainly a fast-road driver who wants clean wheels + long replacement cycles, this is a strong move. If you run long, brutal track days without cooling upgrades, plan your ducting and fluid before you switch materials.
Choose Your Disc Style
Three variants built around the same long-fiber carbon-ceramic core concept. Pick the one that matches how you actually drive.
Street
- Face design: Drilled + Big Cooling Holes
- Cooling core: Directional internal venting
- Coating: Ceramic coating (street durability + clean look)
- Use: Daily, canyon runs, highway pulls, short light track sessions
Track-Day
- Face design: Blank + Hive Cooling Holes
- Cooling core: Hive-style internal cooling
- Coating: Ceramic coating (balanced street + heat tolerance)
- Use: Street + occasional track days (best with proper brake ducts)
Race-Only
- Face design: Blank + Hive Cooling Holes
- Cooling core: Hive-style internal cooling
- Coating: No coating (race-focused surface)
- Use: Dedicated track/race cars with strong cooling and regular inspections
Note: Not intended for street use.
Technical Specifications

Specs are finalized per vehicle and wheel clearance. We prefer “correct fitment + correct pad match” over generic claims.
FAQ
Is this a universal kit?
No. We confirm your Year / Make / Model / Wheel Size (VIN helps) first, then finalize rotor size and hat geometry to match your hub and clear your wheels.
Is it bolt-on?
Yes—after fitment is confirmed. We design the bracket geometry and confirm caliper-to-wheel clearance before production so the install is clean, not “close enough.”
Is it street-friendly from cold?
Yes—when paired with the specified StopFlex CCB-optimized Pad Set. The goal is normal street bite from cold, not “needs heat to work.”
How long do the discs last?
For typical road use, StopFlex targets 250,000–300,000 km. Real life depends on vehicle weight, pad choice, cooling, and how often you do track sessions.
Do I need brake ducts for track use?
For street and short stints, you’re usually fine. For long lapping sessions, plan ducting/venting. Carbon-ceramic tends to keep more heat near the friction surface, so pads and fluid become the limiting factor without airflow.
Is there a bed-in process?
Yes. A controlled bed-in builds a consistent transfer layer. We provide a simple procedure with the kit (moderate stops, then cool-down—avoid long pedal holds while hot).
Can I use any pad that fits the caliper?
Not recommended. Pad chemistry matters more on carbon-ceramic. A wrong pad can create unstable friction, noise, and unnecessary surface wear. Use the StopFlex CCB-optimized Pad Set specified for your calipers.
