19" |
Fitment here is bespoke: brackets, hat offsets, and caliper mounting are engineered for your exact model and trim rather than copied across the platform. Two trims with the same chassis code can still differ in knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance — which is why we confirm your trim first, then build the matched system of calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and lines for it. Modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension points require 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.

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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.
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.
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 runs a Brembo 6-piston caliper over a 380 mm carbon-ceramic rotor. Choose among the V6 (Brembo OEM Cadillac CTS-V), the GT|M6, or the GT|S6 6-piston options — all deliver the even, high-pressure clamp and firm pedal that the factory Stinger Brembos lose once they heat-shudder.
Rear Caliper
The rear pairs a Brembo 4-piston caliper with a matched 380 mm carbon-ceramic rotor in V4 (CTS-V), GT|M4, or GT|S4 form, adding rear thermal capacity so the car stays balanced under repeated hard stops. Rear caliper choice is fitted to your confirmed trim, and we configure it to work with the Stinger's factory parking brake setup.
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
High rotor temperature tolerance does not mean heat management disappears. Under repeated hard braking, heat migrates into the pads, brake fluid, seals, calipers, and wheels even when the ceramic disc itself is comfortable. Plan brake cooling and high-temperature fluid for extended track sessions, long mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving.
Get Your Fitment Confirmed
Send the exact vehicle details, current rotor sizes, and caliper type before ordering. Every StopFlex order is confirmed against your VIN-level configuration before production.
FAQ
Will this fix the brake shudder and pulsation I keep getting on my Stinger's stock Brembos?
That shudder is thickness variation building in the factory iron rotors as they heat-cycle, and it comes back even after warranty rotor swaps and different pads. Carbon-ceramic discs don't warp or deposit pad material the same way, so the pulsation that keeps returning on OE rotors is designed out at the source. The 380 mm rotor and Brembo 6-piston front also give you far more thermal headroom than the stock GT setup.
Is this a bolt-on kit for any Stinger, or is it built for my exact trim?
It's built for your confirmed trim, not the platform. Stinger trims vary in knuckle, hub geometry, and wheel clearance, so we machine the brackets and rotor-hat offsets to match your specific car. We don't ship a one-size Stinger kit and hope it clears — we confirm your trim and wheels first, then build to it.
How does this brake in cold weather? I daily my Stinger through winter.
Physics first: a cold, untuned carbon-ceramic disc bites less than cold iron on the first stop or two. We've tuned both the low-metallic pad compound and the rotor's ceramic coating for cold starts, so cold-car winter feel now sits very close to summer feel. Leave a little extra following distance on the first cold stops of the day and the system comes up to temperature quickly.
What wheels do I need to clear these, and does it keep my electronic parking brake?
The 380 mm rotors require a minimum 19-inch wheel, and spoke clearance matters as much as diameter, so send us your wheel details. The Stinger uses a factory electronic parking brake, and we configure the rear caliper so your EPB continues to function normally.
