Carbon Fiber Ceramic Brakes

Silicon resin is shot through with small grains of carbon fiber and moulded into the shape of a brake disc with regular holes added radially to create cooling vents.

Carbon fiber ceramic brakes. In 2004 the carbon ceramic braking system was awarded the golden compass prize by adi the italian industrial design association. Along with increased braking power the carbon fiber ceramic brake pads feature a dust free formula to keep those wheels looking great while you say goodbye to nasty brake dust. Carbon ceramic brakes are actually designed to withstand the usual intense heat that occurs during braking. The pads combine with drilled slotted zinc plated rotors that ensure a cool smooth ride that protects against rust and corrosion.

Along with increased braking power our carbon fiber ceramic brake pads feature a dust and noise free formula to keep those wheels looking great while you enjoy a quiet ride. A car with carbon ceramics just needs standard and inexpensive brake pad changes until it reaches about 100 000 miles at which point only do you need to change the rotors. They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix. Which brings us to the downside.

Carbon ceramic offers substantial benefits in terms of performance in both wet and dry conditions weight comfort corrosion resistance durability and high tech appeal. Both the matrix and the fibers can consist of any ceramic material whereby carbon and carbon fibers can also be considered a ceramic material. Rather than cast iron or steel carbon ceramic brake discs are made from a composite material. The carbon ceramic brakes fitted as standard on many high performance vehicles are constructed in one of two ways either a core of ceramic material reinforced with chopped carbon fibre with an additional ceramic layer on the friction surface or simply the core of ceramic material with chopped carbon fibre and no outer friction layer.

The pads are also 3rd party tested in the usa to ensure quiet braking allowing you to enjoy your drive.
