Will This Fit My Car?
Direct Replacement CCB Discs (Retain Factory Calipers) for the 2013-2016 Porsche Boxster (981) / S / GTS / Spyder. Factory rotor specifications and the smallest wheel that clears each trim:
| Trim | Front Rotor (Factory) | Rear Rotor (Factory) | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 315mm | 17" | |
| S/GTS | 330mm | 17" | |
| Spyder | 340mm, 350mm (PCCB) | 330mm, 350mm (PCCB) | 18" |
| Base/S/GTS | 299mm | 16" |
Keep Your Factory Calipers?
Keep the factory calipers when the front axle uses fixed 4-piston-or-larger calipers; the rear axle has no piston-count restriction. Front 1- or 2-piston floating calipers require a Full Upgrade kit. Aftermarket-caliper applications are not assumed to fit: StopFlex reviews the caliper model, pad shape, rotor dimensions and offset before approving the build.
Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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.
Short-Fiber or Long-Fiber — Your Call
Every StopFlex disc is true carbon-ceramic. Short-Fiber Street Spec uses a simpler chopped-fiber process for a lower price and street-only duty; the Long-Fiber line uses continuous carbon strands that carry load across the whole rotor for higher strength and thermal durability — the pick for track and race heat.
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 like-size carbon-ceramic rotor can be materially lighter than an iron disc; the exact saving depends on rotor dimensions. Lower rotating, unsprung mass can reduce the load the suspension has to control.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide friction material is selected for high-temperature stability and fade resistance. Overall pedal feel still depends on pad condition, fluid, caliper stiffness, cooling and operating temperature.
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, carbon-ceramic friction surfaces are designed for low wear. Actual service life depends on mileage, contamination, pad choice, heat cycles and driving use.
Low Visible Dust
Matched StopFlex pads are selected for low visible dust on the ceramic friction surface. Actual wheel dust still varies with pad choice, traffic, temperature, bedding and driving intensity.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Winter use is possible, but cold-start behavior should be treated honestly: ceramic friction can have less initial bite before temperature builds. StopFlex tunes the matched pad/coating combination for cold response; keep extra distance on the coldest first stops and select a Street Spec for severe climates.
Choose Your Rotor: Short-Fiber Street to Long-Fiber Motorsport
Left to right is ascending duty. Short-Fiber Street Spec keeps carbon-ceramic benefits at a lower price for street use only; the Long-Fiber Street, Track-Day, and Motorsport specs add continuous-fiber strength and thermal durability for everything from daily premium builds to race weekends.
Short-Fiber Street Spec
Chopped short-fiber carbon-ceramic body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face.
Choose this for street-only use when purchase price matters most. It keeps the carbon-ceramic friction surface and coated finish, but it is not specified for track sessions.
Long-Fiber Street Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, large cooling channels.
Choose this for daily and fast-road use when you want the long-fiber construction without moving to a track-focused face and cooling specification.
Long-Fiber Track-Day Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for repeated fast-road or track-day braking where thermal duty matters more than the drilled street appearance. High-temperature fluid and appropriate cooling still matter.
Long-Fiber Motorsport Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, uncoated blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for competition-focused use with the corresponding pad, fluid, cooling and warm-up strategy. It is not the default recommendation for a street-driven car.
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.
Get Your Fitment Confirmed
Before ordering, provide the exact vehicle, current rotor sizes, caliper type, and wheel details. Production starts only after the configuration is confirmed; VIN/build data is requested when it is needed to resolve fitment.
FAQ
Which 2013-2016 Porsche Boxster 981 factory brake configurations does this Direct Replacement set cover?
This listing is limited to 2013-2016 Boxster (981), Boxster S, GTS and Spyder configurations with the supplied factory rotor references: 315mm front on Base, 330mm front on S/GTS, and 340mm or 350mm PCCB front on Spyder. Rear references are 299mm for Base/S/GTS and 330mm or 350mm PCCB for Spyder. Confirm both axle sizes before ordering.
Do I keep the factory calipers on my 981 Boxster?
Yes. These are Direct Replacement CCB discs that retain the factory calipers. Front eligibility requires fixed factory calipers with four pistons or more; the rear axle has no caliper restriction. The set includes StopFlex CCB rotors, matched pads, vehicle-specific rotor hats, floating hardware, and wear sensors specified as compatible with the OEM wear-sensor system.
Which StopFlex rotor specification suits my Boxster or Spyder use?
Choose Short-Fiber Street Spec for lower-cost street-only use. Long-Fiber Street is the step up for broader road use, while Long-Fiber Track-Day and Motorsport are intended for progressively higher heat and duty requirements. Match the rotor specification to how the car is actually driven; do not select a street-only disc for repeated track-duty heat.
How do these carbon-ceramic discs behave on cold winter starts?
A cold, untuned carbon-ceramic disc can have less initial bite than cold iron. StopFlex specifies a matched pad compound and disc coating to reduce that cold-start gap, but the first stops in the cold still deserve extra margin. This applies regardless of whether your 981 uses the 315mm, 330mm, 340mm, or 350mm supplied rotor reference.
