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

      Unplugged Performance installed front/rear sway bars on my Model 3 Performance Highland. The change was instant: less body roll, flatter cornering, better grip, and precise control. It sharped handling without hurting ride comfort. This is a great value and would highly recommended.
      Alex H. November 12, 2025
      Product is top notch when I installed them it was like switching from a 1 piston sliding caliper to a bbk. Also cold performance and noise are really good
      Christos K. November 04, 2022
      I had another set carbon steel running boards on my Cybertruck for a while and finally got to see the UP Invincible HD Rock Sliders while out at XTakeover this summer. They looked so good and were noticeably more sturdy than what I had on the truck. I replaced mine with a set of these HD Rock...
      Josh H. November 17, 2025
      I have tracked my m3p twice now at road America and a local track blackhawk farms. The power to pull the car out of corners make it pretty competitive in stock form. The number one complaint was body roll and poor weight transfer into corners. The competition sways eliminated all of those concerns....

      These carbon fiber seats are amazing in our plaid drag car. Looks like it came from Tesla just like that. ??? Thanks
      '@EvSmokeATX November 11, 2022
      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...
      zackfeldstein9 September 24, 2022
      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
      Having the moderate version installed soon and I am very excited for this upgrade, how it is going to look and how it will feel on my Model 3!
      Christian N. January 01, 2026
      Drove on these for 60,000 miles and they were perfect. Never heard any noise from these and it’s such a great and affordable way to increase the performance of your car easily and without a huge financial commitment. Super impressed with what these could do. Highly recommend.
      zackfeldstein9 October 10, 2022
      Perfect companion product for the luxury suspension kit. An absolute must have for those who modify the springs of their vehicle.
      bluetrevian March 20, 2024
      I included these with my UP / BBS Flugplatz wheels purchase for my Model Y. The burnt titanium contrasts well with the matte finish of the rims (and other darker styles, I would guess). Overall adds to a clean look and smooth ride.
      p.flores September 16, 2022
      My Model Y's overall ride quality and handling performance SERIOUSLY improved after getting this sway bar set installed! I can't get over how much more fun my Model Y is to drive now. I was so excited to put these to the test after getting them installed. The very next day, we went on a road trip...
      James_M September 05, 2022
      Had the bars installed with the end links on my M3P, at the same time lowered with performance springs and got new tires. No regrets. The car rides flat af. I look forward to round-abouts now. Big ups to UP.
      Edmundo R. January 10, 2023
      These wheels are insanely light and strong! And, they look the bomb! If I didn’t look while picking them up, I would have thought they are carbon fiber! The same spec as was originally used on the Bionic Phoenix Model 3 race car! I put in my fastest time at Buttonwillow on these wheels running...
      Sof October 03, 2023
      My Model Ys ride and handling is awesome now with this set of sway bars! Amazing the difference it makes. The workmanship of the product is amazing as well. Top notch product!
      13rizz October 05, 2022
      Was hesitant to purchase but after seeing my before/after alignment report I am so glad I did. For everything Tesla does well, alignment from the factory needs work. UP perfectly aligned my M3. Highly recommend this product if you are installing the dual rate lowering springs. Call and ask for Kirk...
      Jordan C. June 09, 2023
      These are exactly what I was expecting. I waited over a year for them. Pandemic backorders and all. It took me about 6 hours to install with help from a friend. The fronts were the worst part. You have to have the spring compressors mounted just right and really compress them a lot to assemble the...
      Tim H. January 05, 2023
      I had my Coilovers installed by NV Auto in Hamilton Canada. They did a good job and I now have a great ride. After about a month of driving I went one step further and put new 18” rims and tires on. This really improved the ride and is is a joy to drive my Tesla again. Thanks unplugged...
      lutzlind August 18, 2023
      This is a necessary purchase if you want to properly raise or lower your vehicle. Super high quality materials, easy to install and adjust.
      josephschneider77 November 04, 2022
      Sway bars changed behavior of car. It was straight forward to install. Thanks to the Unplugged team for providing guidance on the correct way to setup sway bar with the adjustable end links. Very happy with product!
