19" |
This kit is built per car, not per platform. We engineer the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting to your confirmed model and trim, because trims sharing a chassis name frequently differ underneath — performance variants can run different knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance than their standard siblings. You receive calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines as one matched, trim-specific system. Cars with modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points need review 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 |
| 21" | 400 mm – 420 mm |

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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.
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.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Cold facts first: an untuned ceramic disc bites less than iron on a freezing morning — physics, not a defect. StopFlex tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so winter cold-car braking now feels very close to summer. Leave extra margin on the very coldest first stops; severe-climate daily drivers should build Street Spec.
Caliper Overview
Front Caliper
The front is a Brembo V6 / GT6 / GTS6 6-piston caliper — you pick your option: V6 is the OEM Cadillac CTS-V 6-piston on a 370 mm rotor, GT6 is the Brembo GT M6 on a 380 mm rotor, and GTS6 is the Brembo GT S6 on a 380 mm rotor. All three hold pedal firmness through repeated hard stops instead of going long as heat builds.
Rear Caliper
The rear is a Brembo V4 / GT4 / GTS4 4-piston caliper on a 380 mm rotor — V4 is the OEM CTS-V unit, GT4 and GTS4 are Brembo GT M4/S4 options. It adds real rear thermal capacity so the car stays balanced under trail braking and heavy track use.
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
Carbon ceramic rotors tolerate extreme surface temperature, but they do not remove every heat-management requirement. During repeated hard stops, heat still soaks into pads, fluid, seals, calipers, wheels, and nearby components. For long track sessions, mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving, brake cooling and high-temperature fluid are still recommended.

FAQ
Will this fit my exact CTS or CTS-V without guessing?
Each kit is engineered to your confirmed trim, not the CTS platform in general. The standard 3.0/3.6 CTS and the 556-hp CTS-V do not share front knuckle and hub geometry, so brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting are cut for the car you actually own. We confirm your trim, year, and drivetrain before anything ships.
What wheels do I need to clear these rotors?
The GT6 and GTS6 front options run a 380 mm rotor, and the V6 runs 370 mm, so 19-inch wheels are the minimum. Some 19s with tight spoke designs still won't clear a 6-piston caliper, so send us your wheel spec and we'll check barrel and spoke clearance before you commit.
How do carbon-ceramic brakes behave in winter cold?
An untuned carbon-ceramic disc bites less than cold iron on the first stops — that's physics, not a defect. We tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so cold-car feel now comes very close to summer feel. On the coldest first stops of the day, leave a little extra following distance until everything is up to temperature.
Can I keep the factory CTS-V Brembo look, or go full aftermarket?
Both. Choose the V6 front and V4 rear if you want the OEM CTS-V Brembo hardware, or step to the Brembo GT M6/S6 front and M4/S4 rear for a fixed-mount motorsport caliper. The pads are a carbon-ceramic-specific low-metallic compound with steel, copper, and aramid fiber, about 0.44 average friction and fade resistance to roughly 750 °C — built to survive repeated hard stops that cook OE iron.
