Tesla Model 3 Brake Pads – Competition & Racing Spec

-

quick product info sheet

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.

Product Details

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

      I upgraded to these from my stock rotors and pads primarily for the lighter unsprung weight as I take my car to the drag strip on occasion. There was a noticeable difference in how early I was to stop in the slow-down zone after the 1/4 mile. I also bought their Stainless Steel Brake lines and...

      Really fixed my rear alignment problems. Lowered my car without it and had some slightly uneven tire wear. With 2 track days I even got 24,000 miles out of a single set of tires with perfectly even wear. This set will save you on tires after just one set, total no brainer for the price! Love being...

      Great complement to my Model Y's coil overs and sway bar set up. Significant handling improvements overall. Best of all, these camber arms give me the peace of mind of not worrying about uneven tire wear after dropping my ride height 1 inch. Car looks and feels great on the road.

      Tesla Model S / Plaid - Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK)
      These brakes have been a game changer for the Plaid. It's a bulky 5000lb 1000hp monster and needs brakes that fit the bill. Unfortunately, the stock setup left a lot to be desired especially when climbing towards the higher speeds. At that point, the brake application felt more like a suggestion and...

      I wanted the ability to lower my 2018 Model X 100D to improve the looks and aerodynamics. Unplugged Performance Sports Dynamic Lowering Kit did both these things for me. I set my Air Suspension to Low, love the look, and a side benefit is a bump in range, due to better airflow around the X. I use...
