Tesla Model 3 Brake Pads – Competition & Racing Spec

-

For Tesla Model 3 owners that like to frequent the track as much as we do, we have released our Competition & Racing Spec brake pads. Designed to be a “pure racing-style solution”, these Competition brake pads include a include more aggressive, high-friction brake pad compound.

As a result, we do not advise regular use on the street, as users will see accelerated rotor wear, as well as increased noise and dust. Additionally, the race-oriented compound requires heat to provide optimal results. However, on-track performance during Autocross, Time Attack and other, track-specific driving events will greatly benefit from a more track-oriented, aggressive brake pad compound, even with OEM brake rotors.

For even more improved braking performance, we advise you to take a look at our Tesla Model 3 Iron Big Brake Kit (BBK) and Superlight Carbon Ceramic Big Brake Kit options to absolutely optimize your braking performance far greater than just a brake pad upgrade.

Unplugged Performance Tesla Model 3 Competition & Racing spec brake pads are designed to be a “pure” racing-style solution that includes a more aggressive, high-friction brake pad compound. As a result, we do not advise regular use on the street, as users will see accelerated rotor wear, as well as increased noise and dust. Additionally, the race-oriented compound requires heat to provide optimal results. However, on-track performance during Autocross, Time Attack and other, track-specific driving events will greatly benefit from a more track-oriented, aggressive brake pad compound, even with OEM brake rotors.

Simply put, these brake pads offer consistent performance over a very wide operating temperature range, reducing brake fade and offering a great aftermarket solution, perfect for on-track use.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Brake pad versions are available for both the factory Model 3 RWD / Dual Motor non-Performance calipers, as well as the factory calipers on the Model 3 Dual Motor Performance
  • Great pedal feel, incredible initial bite, improved heat resistance, and reduced stopping distance (when at proper operating temperatures)
  • Increased noise and dust levels over standard street-oriented or dual-use brake pads
  • Easy installation with no additional modifications or upgrades necessary

Set it for 8 on the adjustment rides totally different what a great job took it to a friend of mine Frank Reyes to install Desert car medics said the product was very well made installed it in about 5 and 1/2 hours.

      We got these (BBK) installed on our S Plaid was the best think we could have upgraded first. They feel so great when stopping on the big end on the tracks, So much light weight as well from the factory stock brakes. Thanks

      On the track or not these sway bars make your car feel solid on turns. Immediately I noticed improved corner turns which is great! Highly recommend!
      jesus.ruiz.2389 February 02, 2023
      short and simple ... NIGHT and DAY difference when turning in and out of turns and really felt as if the car was on RAILS.Had a track day at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and when going through its famous "bowl" Turn 13 I felt planted and gave me confidence to push it more lap by lap. Overall best...

      If you're looking to upgrade your Cybertruck with functional armor that stays true to its bold design, the Unplugged Performance HD Rock Sliders are an exceptional choice. The build quality is immediately noticeable—these sliders are rugged, purpose-built, and clearly engineered with durability in...

      I purchased the Camber and Toe arm set for my Tesla Model 3. These arms are well engineered, beautifully crafted and built solid. I highly recommend these products made by Unplugged Performance. The craftsmanship of the product and customer support is second to none. Highly recommended! Link:...

      This has been one of the best upgrades Ive made to my Plaid. Really makes the car much more stable at high speed, corners better, and there is no loss in comfort even in the stiffest setting.. Very happy with this bar!
      Robert M. October 10, 2022
      Coupled with the FUCAs, the rear arms really help do a proper alignment. Definitely get these if you want to get a perfect alignment for your car, and better than OEM. I put -2 camber in the rear for my track day yesterday and achieved phenomenal handling in the corners. I also tried it out in drift...
      Sof October 18, 2022
      As part of my purchase of the Luxury Coilover Suspension for my Model Y, I included both the Front Upper Control Arms and Rear Camber Arms, to mitigate any issues with uneven tire wear. When I purchased the UP / BBS Flugplatz wheels with tires, I was relieved that the additional 2 pieces were...

      Great mix of performance and style.
      Christian N. December 04, 2025
      Dominic Marcu - Racing Driver I installed these parts and I am very satisfied. The quality is great, they are light and help me adjust them exactly how I want the car.
      Dominic M. April 12, 2023
      In looking for rims for a car the first thing I think of is uniqueness. That’s what drew me to this stylish set. I feel like im the only one in LA with a ste let alone 22’s on a Y and they fit and ride flawlessly. Definitely would suggest getting a pair if you want to stand out. I see they got...
      Montage Ø. November 03, 2025
      The shop we had these installed was a 1.5 hour highway drive away so the trip home was a great test to see if we liked them (we live in NC). It was immediately noticeable that the ride of our 2021 Y was softer and bumps were not as hard. We had the shop set our coilovers to setting number "3" and...
      hadfiiw March 04, 2023
      I was not going to get these, as I do not track my car. I love the any chance to control as much about my car as possible. Just one more way to stand out from the crowd. And, I can get my tires to last a reasonable amount of miles.
      deeidson November 16, 2022
      After lowering my Model 3 on coilovers I was having all kinds of clunking noises come from the front sway bars links. Initially, I purchased a different brand of adjustable links and they clunked no matter what I did (shortening, lengthening, removal and re-torqued them countless times), so I...

      You can see my photos under Steve Guevara. Wow, what to say about this spoiler. There are so many incredible things added to my SMG3 that since I have brought it home less than a week ago, I have had more that fifty conversations from strangers that absolutely have to have this spoiler. It...
      smgdcw November 16, 2022
      Very impressed with this tire and wheel set. I have a blue Model Y and I think that the Satin Asteroid Graphite go really well with my car’s color. I also went with the Yokohama 275/40/20 wide tire set up and they make the ride way more comfortable than before, a perfect addition to my UP comfort...
      James_M October 15, 2022
      I upgraded bushing to address an issue I had with lower control arm. Instead of buying OEM, decided to upgrade to spherical bushing from Unplugged. Definitely worth the upgrade. I recommend upgrade.
      juanlop687 May 09, 2023
      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...
      zackfeldstein9 September 23, 2022
      An absolute MUST when thinking about your first upgrade. The Model Y, even in it's Performance Model, has more body roll than you'd like. It was one of my biggest complaints when driving the first few months. After installation, body roll was greatly reduced. Cornering on-ramps and turns with a...
