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.

      Frequently Asked Questions - F.A.Q.
      Everything you need to know about this product before you buy.

      What is the difference between Stage 3 and Stage 4 Model 3 brakes?

      Stage 3 fits carbon ceramic rotors up front and keeps iron-compatible PFC pads at the rear. Stage 4 goes full carbon ceramic at both axles, adding a matching rear big brake kit with 15-inch floating rotors to the 15.5-inch fronts. That balances the car front to rear for the hardest use. If you already run Stage 3 and want the complete system, Stage 4 is the top tier.

      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.

      Is Stage 4 overkill if I only do a few track days a year?

      For occasional track days, Stage 2 or Stage 3 usually covers you, and both cost far less. Stage 4 is built for drivers who run long sessions, chase personal bests, and trim regen back to manage heat, where full carbon ceramic at both axles resists fade lap after lap. It is also the choice if you simply want the most capable and impressive brake setup available. Buy it for how you actually use the car.

      Does this fit a 2017 Model 3, or only the newer cars?

      It fits all Model 3 variants from 2017 to present, including the 2024 refresh, in RWD, Long Range, and Performance. The carbon ceramic hardware is common across the range. The one hard constraint is wheel size, since the rear rotors need 20-inch or larger wheels regardless of model year. An early Long Range and a current Performance both take the same complete system.

      Why do carbon ceramic rotors resist fade better than iron on long sessions?

      Carbon ceramic friction material has high thermal capacity and low thermal conductivity, so it absorbs enormous heat while keeping braking torque consistent and reducing pad wear at high temperatures. Iron rotors reach a point on extended runs where they heat-soak and the pedal goes long. With 15.5-inch front and 15-inch rear rotors, Stage 4 holds firm, precise pedal feel deep into sessions that would cook a smaller iron system.

      Can I have Unplugged Performance install Stage 4 and set it up?

      Yes. Professional installation and a high-temperature brake bleed are required for this system, and our team handles both, along with pad and setup guidance if you race. We recommend Motul RBF 660 or Endless RF 650 fluid. Because carbon ceramic hardware and the rear conversion are involved, this is not a driveway job. Track-driven cars should have the fluid serviced more often as it absorbs moisture.

      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.

      Will upgrading my brakes void the Tesla warranty?

      Tesla’s warranty covers factory-installed parts, but it does not automatically void your warranty if you install aftermarket components like Unplugged Performance brake kits. Under U.S. law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), Tesla must prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure in order to deny warranty coverage. Our parts are engineered to work harmoniously with Tesla OEM Brake systems and can be professionally installed by Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA or by an authorized installer to minimize risk. That said, any damage directly caused by misuse or improper installation may not be covered. We recommend retaining all factory parts so you can revert to stock if needed. Many Tesla owners enjoy peace of mind by using Unplugged Performance products, which are extensively tested and installed by certified professionals. If warranty concerns are top-of-mind, our team can help clarify compatibility and installation best practices to ensure a worry-free experience.

      What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?

      Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.

      This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.

      To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.

      Will installing Unplugged Performance parts void my Tesla warranty?

      Installing aftermarket parts does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. Tesla must prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question to deny a warranty claim. UP recommends retaining all factory parts to allow reverting to stock if needed. 

      How can I find a dealer or authorized installer near me?

      To find authorized installers or retailers of Unplugged Performance products in your area, please use the form on our website to provide your location details. This will help us connect you with an authorized installer nearby. You can find the form here.

      What are the shipping options and times?

      Unplugged Performance processes orders quickly, typically within 1–2 business days after placement. For U.S. customers, orders under $50 usually ship via FedEx SmartPost with an estimated delivery time of 2–7 business days. Larger items like body kits or bumpers may ship via freight carriers with curbside delivery; customers will be contacted to schedule a delivery window. International shipping is available to most countries, with shipping costs calculated at checkout. Delivery times abroad vary, generally ranging from 5 to 16 business days depending on destination. Import duties or taxes are the customer’s responsibility. To ensure a smooth shipping experience, provide accurate contact information during checkout. For specific questions or shipping quotes, Unplugged Performance’s support team is available to assist.
