Surface Transforms Ceramic Brakes - Advanced Carbon-Ceramic Braking Performance
Surface Transforms ceramic brakes represent the next generation of carbon-ceramic braking technology, delivering exceptional stopping power, ultra-low weight, and outstanding thermal stability for high-performance road and track applications. Manufactured using advanced carbon-ceramic composite processes, these brake discs offer superior resistance to fade, reduced unsprung mass, and exceptional durability under extreme braking loads.
Available from Design911, Surface Transforms ceramic braking systems are engineered for performance vehicles where precision braking, heat control, and long service life are critical. They provide a significant upgrade over conventional iron discs, particularly for high-power cars and demanding driving environments.
What Do Surface Transforms Ceramic Brakes Do?
Surface Transforms ceramic brake discs work with compatible ceramic brake pads and calipers to deliver controlled, repeatable stopping power.
Core Functions:
- Convert extreme kinetic energy into consistent braking force.
- Operate reliably at very high temperatures without fade.
- Reduce unsprung and rotating mass for improved handling.
- Deliver stable pedal feel under sustained heavy braking.
- Maintain braking performance during aggressive road and track use.
Carbon-ceramic technology allows braking systems to perform consistently where traditional discs reach their limits.
Why Do Ceramic Brake Components Wear or Fail?
While ceramic brakes are highly durable, they are still subject to wear and damage under certain conditions.
Common Causes of Wear or Failure Include:
- Thermal
shock from improper bedding-in or rapid temperature changes.
- Incorrect
pad compounds causing surface damage.
- Impact
damage from debris or improper handling.
- Extended
high-load use beyond service limits.
- Incorrect installation or setup.
When ceramic components degrade, braking performance and disc integrity can be compromised, making correct replacement essential.
Why Replace with Surface Transforms Ceramic Brakes?
Replacing worn or damaged components with Surface Transforms ceramic brakes restores braking performance to advanced design standards.
Key Benefits:
- Exceptional fade resistance at extreme temperatures.
- Significant weight reduction compared with iron discs.
- Improved braking consistency and pedal feel.
- Extended service life in high-performance applications.
- Reduced brake dust and corrosion.
- Ideal for high-power road cars, track builds, and motorsport use.
Surface Transforms ceramic brakes deliver precision, durability, and performance where conventional braking systems fall short.
Highlights
- Advanced carbon-ceramic brake disc technology.
- Extreme heat resistance and fade control.
- Reduced unsprung mass for improved handling response.
- Consistent braking under aggressive driving conditions.
- Suitable for high-performance road and track applications.
Porsche Brake Disc Upgrades: Venting, Drilling, and Grooving Explained
Today we’re talking brake discs: the unsung heroes of your Porsche’s stopping power. What do they do? How can you tell when they need replacing? And what are the upgrade options for enhanced performance? It’s all here. We’ll explore the evolution of brake disc designs, from solid to vented, drilled, and grooved, explaining how each type improves performance. Plus, we’ll break down the materials: durable cast iron, high-carbon steel, and Porsche’s high-performance options like carbon ceramic and surface-coated discs. Whether you’re looking for better braking on the track or a cost-effective daily driving solution, we’ve got you covered.
