Will This Fit My Car?
Full Upgrade CCB Big Brake Kits (With Calipers) for the 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat (B6/3C). This page's exact brake setup:
| Model Years | Front Setup | Rear Setup | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006-2010 | AP Racing CP9560 Radi-CAL II 6-Piston Caliper / 380mm | AP Racing CP9541 Radi-CAL II 4-Piston Caliper / 380mm | 19" |
This kit is built per car, not per platform. We engineer the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting to your confirmed model and trim, because trims sharing a chassis name frequently differ underneath — performance variants can run different knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance than their standard siblings. You receive calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines as one matched, trim-specific system. Cars with modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points need 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.
| Wheel Size (Standard) | Disc Range |

| 15" | 260 mm – 285 mm |
| 16" | 285 mm – 300 mm |
| 17" | 300 mm – 330 mm |
| 18" | 330 mm – 355 mm |
| 19" | 355 mm – 380 mm |
| 20" | 380 mm – 400 mm |
| 21" | 400 mm – 420 mm |
| 22" | 420 mm – 440 mm |

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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.
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.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Winter question, straight answer: untuned ceramic discs bite less when cold. StopFlex optimized the pad compound and the rotor's ceramic coating for cold operation, so cold-start braking in winter feels very close to warm-weather braking. Extra following distance on freezing first stops is still smart; severe-winter daily cars should run Street Spec.
Caliper Overview
Front Caliper
The front uses the AP Racing CP9560 Radi-CAL II 6-piston caliper on a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor. Its stiff Radi-CAL body keeps pad taper and pedal travel consistent as heat climbs during repeated hard stops.
Rear Caliper
The rear runs the AP Racing CP9541 Radi-CAL II 4-piston caliper on a 380mm rotor, adding balanced rear thermal capacity so the front isn't doing all the work on long descents or track sessions.
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.

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 this kit bolt onto my exact Passat without guessing?
No guessing. We engineer each kit to your confirmed trim, matching the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and CP9560/CP9541 caliper mounting to your specific B6/3C. VR6/R36 cars can carry different front knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel clearance than base gasoline or diesel Passats in the same family, so we build to your car rather than assume a platform-wide fit.
What wheels do I need to clear the 380mm rotors?
The 380mm front and rear rotors require a minimum 19-inch wheel. Diameter alone isn't enough—spoke shape and inner barrel clearance matter around the CP9560 six-piston front caliper, so send us your wheel make, size, and offset and we'll confirm clearance before you buy.
How do these brakes behave in winter and cold weather?
A cold carbon-ceramic disc naturally bites a little less than cold iron on the first stops—that's physics, not a fault. We've tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so cold-car feel now comes very close to summer feel. On the coldest first stops, leave a bit of extra following distance until the system reaches temperature.
How does the parking brake work with this kit?
The B6/3C uses a cable-operated parking brake, so there's no electronic actuator to integrate. The rear CP9541 setup retains a functional parking brake as part of the bespoke rear bracket and hat design matched to your trim.
