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.

| 17" | 300 mm – 330 mm |
| 18" | 330 mm – 355 mm |

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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.
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.
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 the Brembo GT | M6 6-piston caliper (also selectable as the V6 OEM Cadillac CTS-V or GTS6 unit), all matched to a 380 mm carbon-ceramic rotor. Six opposed pistons keep clamping even and pedal travel consistent lap after lap on the CLE's heavier front axle.
Rear Caliper
The rear pairs a Brembo 4-piston caliper — choose the V4 (OEM Cadillac CTS-V), GT4 (M4), or GTS4 (S4) — with a 380 mm carbon-ceramic rotor to add real rear thermal capacity. Because the C236 CLE uses an electronic parking brake, the rear is engineered to retain factory EPB 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 clear my CLE's wheels?
The largest rotor here is 380 mm, so you need at least a 19-inch wheel — anything smaller will not clear the disc, and spoke shape matters as much as diameter. Send us your exact wheel and offset when you confirm your order so we verify barrel and spoke clearance for the GT6 front caliper before we build.
Is this kit really matched to my exact trim, or a generic C236 fit?
It is bespoke per confirmed trim. A CLE53 AMG can carry different front knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET than a CLE300 or CLE450 sharing the same C236 chassis name, so we cut the brackets and set the rotor-hat offsets to your specific car. We do not sell this as a platform-wide bolt-on.
Does this keep my electronic parking brake working?
Yes. The CLE-Class uses an electromechanical parking brake, and the rear V4/GT4/GTS4 caliper is engineered to retain that factory EPB function so your dash button and auto-hold behave normally after install.
How do these carbon-ceramic brakes behave in winter cold?
A cold carbon-ceramic disc naturally bites a little less than cold iron on the very first stops — that's physics, not a fault. We tune both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so first-thing-in-the-morning feel on a cold CLE now comes very close to summer feel. Still leave a little extra following distance on your first couple of cold stops.
