Q: What are the performance advantages of Unplugged Performance Model S Plaid Big Brake Kits?

Unplugged Performance big brake kits for the Tesla Model S Plaid provide a dramatic improvement in stopping power, heat management, and pedal feel. Designed for both spirited road use and high-performance track driving, these systems increase rotor size, caliper stiffness, and pad surface area, enabling shorter stopping distances and better brake modulation. On a 5,000+ lb. high-speed vehicle like the Plaid, factory brakes are often the limiting factor under repeated hard stops or aggressive driving. Our kits reduce brake fade with larger thermal capacity and use premium multi-piston calipers and floating rotors to evenly distribute heat and force. This ensures consistent braking performance, whether you’re at Laguna Seca or tackling a mountain pass. Additionally, our kits offer a more aggressive aesthetic that complements the Plaid’s performance identity. For optimal results, we recommend pairing them with our high-performance brake pads and stainless steel lines.

Tesla Model 3 UP-03 Lightweight Forged Wheels (Set of 4)
These are a great set of wheels. I purchased them to replace my OEM 2024 M3P wheels. I went with the 19x9.5 in satin black. The wheels are very lightweight and durable. I wrapped them in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires. The wheels are great on the street for daily use and I have used them at...

These bearings were installed for me by a shop that unplugged put me in touch with. Their service was excellent. The bearings were able to be installed with zero use of heat, unlike bearing kits for other cards and potentially from other brands. The road feel and confidence in the back end is...

Same as the fascia, this feels like a must-have Tesla upgrade. The stock Model 3 just doesn’t look the same anymore. I love the dry carbon material and would highly recommend. I wish the diffuser fins came standard, even with a higher cost. With some DIY, you can make the air ducts in the bumper...

After lowering my car I had some bad rear tire wear because I wasn't able to get a good alignment with the stock arms. This was a quick and easy fix :) 10/10

Worth every penny. The iron BFB is one of my favorite things I’ve done to my car so far. Brakes are one of the most important things on a car and I notice such an improvement with these over stock brakes. On track I am able to brake much later into corners and the brakes have basically zero fade...

Tesla Model S / Plaid - Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK)
I love my brake kit! One of the only things I didn’t like about my Model S Plaid was how under braked it was and these made a massive difference. By far the best upgrade I have made so far. I plan on tackling my suspension next.

Ross is the most awesome - extremely helpful in the purchasing process of this BBK - not only I got in red, Ross was able to build it without the logo, send me custom dry transfer decal for me to have a full custom look. This brakes stops radically better than OEM. For a car as heavy as the Model X,...
