Will This Fit My Car?
Direct Replacement CCB Discs (Retain Factory Calipers) for the 2017-2023 Tesla Model 3 / Performance (pre-Highland). Factory rotor specifications and the smallest wheel that clears each trim:
| Trim | Front Rotor (Factory) | Rear Rotor (Factory) | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perf | 355mm | 18" | |
| Highland | 320mm | 17" | |
| Perf/Highland | 335mm | 18" |
Keep Your Factory Calipers?
Yes — if your front factory calipers are fixed 4-piston or more. The rear axle has no restriction. Cars with 1- or 2-piston floating front calipers should use the Full Upgrade kit (calipers + discs) instead. Discs are built to the factory rotor specs shown above; if you run aftermarket calipers (Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, Wilwood), we simply confirm the caliper model, pad shape, and rotor dimensions before production.
Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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.
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.
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.
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.

Before ordering, tell us the exact vehicle, current rotor sizes, and caliper type. Nothing goes to production until the build is confirmed against your VIN-level configuration.
FAQ
Will these fit my exact Model 3, or only the Performance?
This kit is a direct replacement for the pre-Highland Performance front rotor size of 355mm and the 335mm rear. Direct Replacement is only valid because the Performance front caliper is a 4-piston fixed unit, which the CCB rotor and hat are matched to. If your car runs a smaller single-piston front caliper, this front application does not apply. Confirm your trim and factory rotor diameter before ordering, since compatibility is limited to the exact sizes listed here.
How do these brakes behave in winter and cold weather?
An untuned cold carbon-ceramic disc bites less than cold iron on the first stop. That's normal physics, not a defect. We tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so cold-car braking feel now comes very close to summer feel. On the coldest first stops of the day, leave a little extra following distance until the system has warmed through the first few applications, then it settles right in.
Does this affect the electronic parking brake on the rear?
No. The Model 3 uses a motor-on-caliper EPB integrated into the factory rear caliper, and this kit reuses that caliper. You keep the 335mm rear replacement rotor and hat, the EPB actuator stays factory, and Auto Hold and Hill Hold continue to work as designed. Rear fitment is unrestricted since you are not changing the caliper.
Why replace stock rotors when the Model 3 already relies on regen?
On track and hard canyon runs, the battery limits regen to manage heat, so the friction brakes carry close to 100% of the load and the stock iron rotors saturate and fade fast. Carbon ceramic discs hold their friction level far deeper into a session and shed heat without warping. Off track, you also stop feeding brake dust onto your wheels and you eliminate the rust bloom that iron rotors develop on a car that barely uses them daily.
