Every StopFlex kit is bespoke-engineered for your exact model and trim — brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting are matched to your specific car, never assumed from the platform. Trims that share a chassis name can differ mechanically: a pure performance variant often carries different knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance than the standard models, so parts that bolt onto one are not the parts that fit the other. Calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines ship as one matched system built to your confirmed trim. Modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points must be reviewed before ordering.
The 380 mm rotor sets the minimum wheel size at 19" — smaller wheels will not clear the caliper and rotor. Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance; confirm your exact wheels before ordering.
| Wheel Size (Standard) | Disc Range |

| 16" | 285 mm – 300 mm |
| 17" | 300 mm – 330 mm |
| 18" | 330 mm – 355 mm |
| 19" | 355 mm – 380 mm |
| 20" | 380 mm – 400 mm |

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
CCB-Specific Pad Compound
A low-metallic resin pad compound reinforced with steel, copper, and aramid fiber, made for ceramic discs: stable to about 750 °C, roughly 0.44 average friction, strong fade resistance, low rotor wear.
Lower Unsprung Mass
A carbon-ceramic rotor weighs roughly half of the equivalent iron disc. Less rotating, unsprung mass lets the suspension follow broken pavement more cleanly and makes steering response noticeably sharper.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide friction matrix keeps working at temperatures that push iron rotors into heavy fade, so the tenth hard stop feels like the first — same pedal travel, same bite point.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Ceramic discs cannot flash-rust. After rain, a wash, or weeks of parking, the rotor face behind your open-spoke wheels stays clean — no orange ring on a freshly detailed car.
Long Street-Service Life
In normal road use with matched pads and correct bedding, one StopFlex CCB rotor set is engineered to outlast several sets of iron replacement rotors, recovering part of the up-front cost.
Low Visible Dust
Matched with StopFlex pads, the system sheds a fraction of the dust an iron rotor and pad combination throws. Wheels stay clean for weeks of driving instead of days.
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Finish
StopFlex's proprietary coating gives the disc a bright ceramic-glaze surface with subtle texture — the factory carbon-ceramic look, clearly visible through open wheel designs.
Continuous Fiber Construction
StopFlex discs are built with long continuous carbon fiber instead of chopped short fiber. Continuous strands carry load across the whole rotor body, raising strength and thermal durability under heat cycles.
Bespoke Per-Vehicle Engineering
Every order is machined to the confirmed vehicle and trim. Brackets, hat offsets, and pad shapes are built for that exact car — never pulled from a one-size-fits-all catalog.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
A cold, untuned carbon-ceramic disc needs more pedal than iron on the first winter stops — normal material physics. StopFlex engineered the pad formula and disc coating specifically for cold starts, closing that gap: cold-car winter feel is now very close to summer feel. Keep a little extra distance on the coldest mornings; for harsh winters, choose Street Spec.
Caliper Overview
Front Caliper
The front uses the Brembo V6 / GT6 / GTS6 6-piston caliper, and you choose your option: V6 is the OEM Cadillac CTS-V unit on a 370 mm rotor, GT6 (GT | M6) and GTS6 (GT | S6) both run a 380 mm rotor. All are monobloc 6-piston bodies that hold a firm, repeatable pedal as heat builds.
Rear Caliper
The rear pairs a Brembo V4 / GT4 / GTS4 4-piston caliper with a 380 mm rotor to add rear thermal capacity for hard, repeated stops. The V4 (OEM CTS-V), GT4 (GT | M4), and GTS4 (GT | S4) options are chosen to match your front spec and retain your factory electronic parking brake function.
Choose Your Rotor: Street, Track-Day, or Motorsport
Street Spec
Ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, and large cooling channels.
Best for daily driving and premium street builds that need clean cold bite, low dust, corrosion-free appearance, and long service life.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating, blank face, and honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for fast-road and track-day use where repeated braking stability matters more than maximum visual drilling style.
Motorsport Spec
Uncoated blank face with honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for race-focused builds that run competition pads, high-temperature fluid, cooling strategy, and a proper warm-up window. Not the default street choice.
Heat Management Note
Ceramic discs shrug off surface temperatures that would destroy iron, but the rest of the system still heats up: pads, fluid, seals, calipers, and wheels all absorb soak heat during repeated hard stops. For track days, long descents, and sustained hard driving, run brake cooling and high-temperature fluid.

FAQ
Will these brakes work in cold weather and winter driving?
A cold carbon-ceramic disc naturally bites a little less than cold iron on the first stop of the day. That is physics, not a fault. We tune both the pad compound and the ceramic disc coating for cold starts, so on the CT5 your first winter stops feel very close to summer. Still, leave a bit of extra following distance for the first couple of stops until everything is warm.
Does this fit my exact CT5 trim, or is it a platform-wide kit?
It is bespoke per confirmed trim. The base CT5, CT5-V, and CT5-V Blackwing can differ in front knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel clearance, so we cut brackets and set rotor-hat offsets for your specific car. We do not assume one setup fits every CT5 in the family, and we confirm your VIN or trim before building.
What wheels do I need to clear this kit?
The largest rotor here is 380 mm, so 19-inch or larger wheels are required. Wheels under 19 inches will not clear the disc and caliper. Spoke shape and inner barrel clearance also matter, so send us your wheel details and we will verify clearance before you order.
Does the kit keep my electronic parking brake working?
Yes. The CT5 uses a factory electronic parking brake, and the rear caliper options are chosen to retain that function so your dash controls and auto-hold behave normally after the swap.
