Surface Transforms for Porsche

Surface Transforms parts for Porsche models from Design911.

A Quick Look at Surface Transforms

Surface Transforms works with a number of automotive manufacturers including mainstream OEMs and niche market/low volume car builders, designing and supplying carbon-ceramic brakes for a wide range of application. Whilst conventional carbon-ceramic brake discs use discontinuous (chopped) carbon-fibers, Surface Transforms interweaves continuous carbon fiber to form a 3D matrix. This process produces a stronger and more durable product with 3 x the heat conductivity compared to our competitors. This reduces the brake system operating temperature, resulting in increased life of components with the same braking performance. Our unique, patented Carbon-Ceramic technology provides the ultimate braking performance for Porsche road and race track brakes.

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where Surface Transforms is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.

• Typical reasons to replace include repeated heavy braking, long downhill use and track driving where owners want stronger fade resistance and lower unsprung weight than conventional discs.
• Common symptoms on a tired setup can include low-speed squeal, longer bite when cold, surface glazing after gentle use and vibration if pads are mismatched or poorly bedded-in. Visible chips or cracks can appear if damage or trapped debris is ignored.
• For best results, follow the bedding-in procedure carefully, use only compatible pad compounds, keep calipers clean and avoid holding the car on the brakes when the discs are extremely hot.

If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.

Brakes — Brake components are renewed to restore stopping performance, address wear or upgrade a Porsche for fast road or track use. Common symptoms include vibration under braking, increased stopping distances, squealing, pulling to one side, warning lights and visible wear to discs and pads.

• Confirm whether parts are OE-style or uprated, what is included in the kit and which Porsche models/options they are listed to fit.
• Follow the recommended running-in or bedding procedure to stabilise performance and minimise noise.

Brake Pads & Disc Package — Combined pad and disc packages provide a matched set to refresh the braking system in one go, helping to maintain balanced performance across the axle or full car. Old systems often show disc lip wear, pad glazing, noise, vibration and reduced bite, especially after heavy use.

• Check whether the package is front, rear or a full set, and if wear sensors and fitting hardware are supplied.
• Match the package type (OE-style or uprated) and any stated coverage to your specific Porsche model and options.

Surface Transforms Ceramic Brakes — Surface Transforms ceramic brakes deliver advanced carbon-ceramic braking performance as upgrades from iron discs or replacements for worn ceramic systems, with benefits in fade resistance, weight and consistency. Worn ceramic discs may show surface crazing, thickness loss or chipping, while iron discs tend to fade and rust heavily under hard use.

• Confirm which Porsche models the discs are listed for and whether they are intended as direct replacements for existing ceramic systems.
• Use the recommended pad compounds and observe guidance on road/track suitability and expected service life.
