Tesla Model 3 Stage 4 Complete Carbon Ceramic Brake System
$12,591.00
The top tier for Model 3 braking. Stage 4 pairs our Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front BBK with matching Carbon Ceramic Rear BBK and stainless braided lines. Only offered with red calipers. Over 15 inch carbon ceramic rotors up front and 15 inch carbon ceramic rotors in the rear cut unsprung mass, raise thermal capacity, and deliver repeatable stopping on long sessions. The result is later markers, shorter distances, and a firm, precise pedal that holds up when you push hardest.

Product Details
If your build needs the same level of braking confidence we use on record chasers like our Model S Plaid race car Dark Helmet, Stage 4 is the move. This complete carbon ceramic system equips your Model 3 with supercar grade hardware at both axles, designed for drivers who hammer laps, chase data, and still want quiet, street friendly manners between events.
Up front, the Superlight Carbon Ceramic Big Brake Kit brings red 6 piston monoblock calipers clamping 15.5 inch Italian carbon ceramic rotors. Compared to iron, these rotors reduce unsprung mass, which lets the suspension follow the road more accurately and improves response to steering inputs. Rotational inertia drops, so the car turns in cleaner and settles faster through linked corners. Heat handling is exceptional, which keeps pedal travel stable during long downhill runs and extended sessions where iron systems start to fade.
Stage 4 adds the matching Carbon Ceramic Rear Big Brake Kit to complete the balance. You move from the small 13 inch stock rear rotor to a giant 15 inch carbon ceramic rotor with a floating disc. Effective radius increases, which multiplies braking torque and improves stability under heavy decel. The rear assembly is about 9.5 percent lighter than stock, saving roughly 2.7 pounds per corner with hardware, which sharpens the chassis and helps the tire do more work. The rear kit preserves OEM parking brake and stability control functions, so street usability stays intact.
Carbon ceramic friction shines in the environments that punish iron. High thermal capacity and low conductivity help resist fade and keep braking torque consistent lap after lap. Pad wear is reduced under high heat use, and day to day drivability remains civil with the compounds selected for this system. From the first stop, bite is confident and modulation is linear, making trail braking a precise tool rather than a guess.
Stainless steel braided lines for all four corners finish the package by resisting expansion that softens pedal feel in rubber hoses. The pressure you command reaches the calipers more directly, which gives a firmer, more communicative pedal and finer control right at the threshold.
Visually, Stage 4 looks as serious as it performs. Red calipers and massive carbon ceramic rotors fill the wheel wells with intent. Pair the system with UP forged wheels for a stance that says exactly what the car can do. Whether you are building for outright pace or you simply want the most capable, most impressive setup available, this is the system of systems.
Who it is for
Drivers who run long sessions, chase PBs, manage heat with regen trimmed back, and want zero drama when braking deep. Also perfect if you want the most elite, head turning brake package for your Model 3.
Compatibility
Fits all Tesla Model 3 variants from 2017 to present, including the 2024 refresh, RWD, Long Range, and Performance.
What is included
- Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front BBK with red 6 piston monoblock calipers
- Two 15.5 inch carbon ceramic front rotors with aluminum hats
- Carbon Ceramic Rear Big Brake Kit with red calipers and 15 inch floating rotors
- Pad sets matched to the system, front and rear
- Billet caliper adapter brackets and mounting hardware
- Stainless steel braided brake lines for all four corners
Wheel fitment note
Rear carbon ceramic rotors require 20 inch or larger wheels. The front kit clears UP 18 inch forged race wheels and most 19 inch wheels, but the complete Stage 4 system must follow the rear requirement. Contact us to confirm specific wheel models.
Installation and fluid
Professional installation and a brake bleed with high temperature performance fluid are required. We recommend Motul RBF 660 or Endless RF 650. Track driven cars should service fluid more frequently because moisture absorption reduces temperature limits over time. If you have questions on setup, pad selection, or racing use, our team is ready to help.
Finish
Red calipers only.

How much weight does the Stage 4 rear kit save over stock?
The rear assembly is about 9.5 percent lighter than the factory setup, roughly 2.7 pounds saved per corner once hardware is counted. That comes even though you move from the small 13-inch stock rear rotor up to a giant 15-inch carbon ceramic floating rotor. Less unsprung mass sharpens how the chassis reacts, and the bigger effective radius multiplies braking torque and steadies the car under heavy deceleration.
Do I need 20-inch wheels for the Stage 4 system?
Yes, the rear carbon ceramic rotors require 20-inch or larger wheels, and that requirement governs the whole build even though the front kit itself clears many 19-inch wheels. There is no way around it on the complete system because of the rear rotor diameter. Before ordering, confirm your exact wheels with us so there are no surprises when the kit arrives. Larger UP forged wheel packages cover this cleanly.
Does the Stage 4 rear kit keep the parking brake and stability control?
Yes. The Carbon Ceramic Rear Big Brake Kit is engineered to preserve the OEM electronic parking brake and stability-control functions, so the car behaves normally in daily use and keeps its safety systems intact. That is a real concern with rear big brake conversions, and it is handled here. You get race-grade rear hardware without giving up the everyday functions you rely on in traffic and on hills.
What color calipers does Stage 4 come in?
Red only. Unlike the Stage 2 and Stage 3 kits, which offer red or black, the complete Stage 4 system is offered exclusively with red calipers front and rear. It carries the SKU UP-M3-BRK-P4-RED. Red against the massive carbon ceramic rotors is a deliberate look, the visual signature of the most capable brake package we build for the Model 3.
What is the SKU and lead time on the Stage 4 system?
The complete system carries the SKU UP-M3-BRK-P4-RED and is offered in red calipers only. It is a low-volume, top-tier build, so the page notes ordering now to secure the next available delivery rather than expecting immediate stock. Because it involves carbon ceramic hardware at both axles and a rear conversion, plan the purchase around that build time, and confirm your 20-inch or larger wheels with us up front so the kit is right when it arrives.
