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 got the FUCAs installed on my 2018 Performance Model 3 and wished I hadn’t waited so long to do it! Now I can do proper alignments with camber on the front, not possible to do with the stock control arms. You can also put custom wheel sizes with super wide tires on the front without worrying...

      Tesla Model 3 Brake Pads - Competition & Racing Spec
      An obviously better compound than stock. Once you get them up to heat they performance impeccably. One of the biggest problems I had was brake fade and fear of not having enough braking capability as I continued with my runs and this is one of the products that helped fix that.

      Got the Street/Track version for my 2022 Performance 3 and couldn't be happier with them. I combined them with the Moderate Lowering Springs and this combo is perfect.

      Tesla will just replace the entire control arm, with THE SAME inferior rubber bushing. Was happy to find these UPGRADED bushings to solve the problem for good. Excellent customer service as well.

      Beefy design, necessarily. Need the toe arms in conjunction with rear camber arms to dial in toe at the same time, otherwise toe will be out of spec when adding negative rear camber.
