2021+ Model X Plaid / Model X – Superlight Rear Large-Sweep Carbon Ceramic Rotor + Pad Kit
$5,995.00
Lightness. Stopping Power. Lifetime warranty. The carbon ceramic (carbon-silicon carbide) rotors developed for this new kit dramatically lighten the rotating mass to the tune of 16lbs of weight savings, while providing improved stopping power and endless brake life. The Tesla Model S Plaid is one of the fastest street cars on earth and decelerating 5000 lbs quickly, repeatedly and with consistent driver confidence is a big challenge. Pushing your Plaid anywhere near its limits requires a braking system that can take a beating from high-weight-high-g-force stops exerting incredible forces again and again and again. These brakes are designed to take constant abuse and keep on providing consistent stops when paired with appropriate high-temp racing brake fluids.
- 365 x 28mm rotor (same as factory)
- Lifetime warranty against rotor wear (for original purchaser, non-transferable), including unlimited track use!
- Nearly 20% increase pad contact patch (56mm sweep annulus vs. 47mm)
- UP x PFC brake pads are designed and extensively brake dyno’d amd field tested for use with carbon-ceramic rotors
- Fits factory 20″ Cyberstream and 22″ Turbine wheels
- 16lbs (38%) weight savings vs stock (25lbs for pair vs. 41lbs for factory)
- We strongly recommend pairing your rear kit with our Super Light Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK) which includes our brake lines
Product Details
2021+ Model X Plaid / Model X – Superlight Rear Large-Sweep Carbon Ceramic Rotor + Pad Kit
Fit your Tesla Model X Plaid or Long Range with this high-performance and high-efficiency rear brake upgrade. Compatible with 19″ and above wheels, these brakes drop a massive 16lbs of rotational weight, provide a 19% increase pad/rotor surface area, and provide performance improvements no matter your tire preference or type of driving. Whether your aim is maximum attack on the track, posting the fastest drag strip times at your local drag night, or maximizing efficiency and acceleration on the street, these are all upside. Rear carbon ceramics without compromise.
Carbon ceramic braking technology is leveraged by modern hypercars and supercars to provide the ultimate in stopping power, combined with the unique characteristics of carbon which include lightweight, light-wearing, and long component life. Early-generation carbon-ceramic rotors from manufacturers such as Ferrari and Porsche earned a reputation for being squeaky and cranky in cold weather, these problems have been overcome with the latest generation carbon-ceramic technology. We are proud to say that our carbon-ceramic brake systems are quieter than any iron system we have tried with performance pads and perform well in all conditions from boiling hot track days to frozen mountain roads.
Specifications:
- Lifetime warranty against rotor wear (for original purchaser, non-transferable). We guarantee these rotors will last as long as you own your vehicle and we will replace them for free if they need replacement. This INCLUDES unlimited track use! Pad replacement is both affordable and infrequent compared to iron rotors.
- Large 56mm sweep annulus carbon-ceramic (carbon-silicon carbide) rotor paired with oversized Large Sweep brake pads allows for more pad-to-rotor surface contact in the same physical dimensions to easily fit 19″ wheels. The 56mm sweep is 19% more than the factory rear rotor’s 47mm annulus.
- Newest rotor technology with the highest friction available
- The rotor utilizes no separate friction layer with maximum durability for a lifetime warranty of use. This ensures no future need for downtime to send in friction layer for servicing/re-infusion.
- UP x PFC brake pads are designed and extensively brake dyno as well as field tested specifically for use with carbon-ceramic rotors, and are compatible with daily street use and hardcore track driving.
- Fits all Tesla Model X Plaid and Model X Long Range 2021+ vehicles in any factory wheel configuration including 19″ inch wheels
- Long-lasting brakes can stand up to consistent performance driving and track use. Clients have raced multiple full seasons on a single set of pads and no rotor changes.
- 16lbs reduction (38% less) of rotational unsprung weight for better feel and improved efficiency. Factory rear rotors are 41lbs combined, these are 25lbs
- Kit includes all components necessary for installation (high-performance brake fluid will need to be supplied by the buyer, and can be purchased at any automotive parts retailer). We strongly recommend pairing your rear kit with our Super Light Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK) which includes our brake lines)
- Designed to fit Tesla 19″ Tempest and 21″ Arachnid wheels as well as all Unplugged Performance wheels and every aftermarket 19″ or larger wheel that we have seen.

How do these fit a larger rear rotor’s braking into the same space?
By using a wider sweep. The 56mm sweep annulus is 19 percent larger than the factory rear rotor’s 47mm annulus, paired with oversized Large Sweep pads for more pad-to-rotor contact in the same physical footprint. That is what lets the kit fit inside 19-inch wheels while adding braking surface.
What wheels do these rear carbon ceramics fit on a Model X?
They fit all 2021+ Model X Plaid and Long Range vehicles in any factory wheel configuration, including 19-inch wheels. The wider sweep sits inside the same footprint, so it clears any factory Model X wheel as well as every Unplugged Performance wheel and every aftermarket 19-inch or larger wheel we have seen. Anything 19 inches and up clears.
Are carbon ceramic brakes noisy or bad in cold weather?
Early carbon ceramic rotors from names like Ferrari and Porsche earned a reputation for squealing and being cranky when cold, but the latest generation has moved past that. We have found our carbon ceramic systems quieter than any iron system we have tried with performance pads, and they work well from boiling track days to frozen mountain roads.
Do these rear rotors really last a lifetime?
They carry a lifetime warranty against rotor wear for the original purchaser, non-transferable, and it includes unlimited track use. The rotor uses no separate friction layer, so there is no downtime to send it in for re-infusion or servicing. Clients have raced multiple full seasons on a single set of pads with no rotor changes.
Will fitting these rear carbon ceramics affect my Tesla warranty?
Installing them does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Tesla would need to show, under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, that the kit caused a specific failure to deny a related claim. Since these are engineered to work with your Model X and can be professionally installed, the practical risk is low. Retaining your factory rotors lets you revert if you ever need to.
