Tesla Model 3 Highland Performance / Highland Carbon Ceramic Brakes Kit
Official Warranty: 1‑year free replacement for quality defects or coating issues under normal (non-track) use.
2024-2026 Tesla Model 3 Highland Performance / Highland Carbon Ceramic Brake Kits
The 2024-2026 Tesla Model 3 Highland range splits cleanly between the 320/335 mm standard brake car and the 355/335 mm Performance setup. Buyers usually want lower brake dust and rotor wear for daily EV use, or more heat margin for repeated hard stops on the heavier, quicker Highland Performance.
- Body style: Sedan
- Front rotor reference: Perf: 355mm; Highland: 320mm
- Rear rotor reference: Perf/Highland: 335mm
This is an OEM-size replacement kit. The rotors are built to the factory rotor spec and install with the factory caliper when the front caliper is a fixed design and the rotor spec matches. The included pad shape matches the OEM pad shape. If the car uses aftermarket calipers such as Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, or Wilwood, provide the exact caliper model and StopFlex can supply the matching pad shape. Direct replacement is not confirmed if the front caliper is floating, or if the car already runs a non-OEM-offset rotor and the actual rotor dimensions cannot be supplied.
Why StopFlex CCB
Lightweight
Half the Weight, Sharper Handling. StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors shed roughly half the mass of equivalent iron discs. This massive drop in unsprung weight instantly transforms your chassis, delivering sharper turn-in response and a significantly more refined road feel.
High-Temp Resistance
Minimal Brake Fade at 900°C (1652°F). While traditional iron rotors severely fade under heavy track loads, our CCB matrix holds a stable 0.30μ friction coefficient even at 900°C (1652°F). You get consistent, predictable stopping power when things get dangerously hot.
Corrosion Resistance
100% Rust-Free Durability. Say goodbye to flash rust after a car wash or heavy rain. The carbon-silicon carbide material is naturally impervious to corrosion, ensuring your brake rotors look completely clean and pristine no matter the weather conditions.
Long Lifespan
250,000+ km (155,000+ mi) Lifespan. Iron rotors typically require replacement around 100,000 km (62,000 mi). In normal street driving conditions, a StopFlex CCB rotor can easily last 250,000 to 300,000 km (155,000 to 186,000 mi), effectively outlasting the vehicle itself.
Ultra-Low Dust
Ultra-Low Visible Brake Dust. Heavy black dust destroying your wheel finish is a thing of the past. When paired with our matched StopFlex pads, these rotors generate virtually zero visible brake dust, keeping your premium wheels spotless for much longer.
Premium Visual Finish
Premium Mirror-Like Finish. StopFlex utilizes a patented ceramic formula that cures with a distinct crackle pattern. The surface is machined dead-smooth for high reflectivity, providing a premium aesthetic behind open wheels under the right lighting.
High Normal-Temp Friction
Strong Initial Bite (0.40μ+). With matched StopFlex pads, normal-temperature friction can exceed 0.40μ for a firmer pedal feel and strong initial bite.
Long-Fiber Construction
Continuous Long-Fiber Strength. StopFlex utilizes a continuous long-fiber 3D matrix. This structure is significantly stronger and offers higher thermal conductivity than standard chopped-fiber OEM CCM discs.
Cold First-Stop Confidence
Reliable Cold-Bite at -20°C (-4°F). Coated street rotors still deliver normal first-stop braking at -20°C (-4°F). Uncoated motorsport rotors are the exception.
Important heat note
Carbon ceramic does not shed heat as fast as steel. Long hard driving can heat-soak the rest of the brake system, including fluid, seals, and nearby parts. Unless the car already has strong brake cooling, or you plan to upgrade brake cooling, prolonged aggressive driving is not recommended.
Rotor options
Street Spec
Ceramic coating + cross-drilled face + large cooling channels.
320/335-based setup suits normal Highland street cars prioritizing cleanliness, longevity, and lighter-feeling unsprung mass.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels.
355/335-based setup is the safer choice for Highland Performance owners who drive hard or do occasional lapping.
Motorsport Spec
No coating + blank face + honeycomb cooling channels. Not for normal street use.
For repeated high-energy use, start from the 355/335 Performance fitment and pair it only with a proven caliper/package match.

FAQ
Will a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit for the Tesla Model 3 Highland Performance / Highland fit my factory calipers, or only specific aftermarket calipers?
That depends on which front brake package your car has from the factory: standard Highland or Highland Performance. Order by exact rotor/caliper setup, and if you already have aftermarket calipers, confirm mounting pattern, offset, and pad shape before buying.
Which StopFlex carbon ceramic brake size is correct for my 2024-2026 Tesla Model 3 Highland or Highland Performance?
Standard Highland uses the 320 mm front and 335 mm rear sizing, while Highland Performance uses 355 mm front and 335 mm rear. The key decision is the front axle, because that is where the factory split occurs on this row.
Is a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit a good daily-driver upgrade for the Tesla Model 3 Highland, including cold first stops?
For most daily-driven Model 3 Highland owners, yes, if you want less dust and more stable pedal feel over time. The main buying question is whether your use is mostly commuting or spirited driving, because that determines whether the standard-size or Performance-size setup makes more sense.
Do I need extra cooling or a more aggressive setup when upgrading my Tesla Model 3 Highland Performance to a StopFlex carbon ceramic brake kit for hard use?
For fast road driving and occasional short sessions, the 355 mm Performance-based setup is the better starting point. For repeated heavy lapping, cooling, pad choice, and the rest of the brake package still matter because Model 3 Performance owners do report the factory-sized system getting close to its thermal limit under track use.
