Product Details
The Stage 2: Carbon Ceramic Performance Brake System is your step into true supercar-level braking for the 2021+ Tesla Model S and Model S Plaid. Built for drivers who demand repeatable, confidence-inspiring stops on both street and track, this package combines our Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK) with our Rear Superlight Large-Sweep Carbon Ceramic Rotor + Pad Kit into one cohesive system.
The Model S Plaid is one of the fastest accelerating street cars ever produced. Decelerating nearly 5,000 lbs from triple-digit speeds, over and over, generates enormous heat and load at the brakes. The factory system is adequate for casual driving, but once you start running back-to-back launches, mountain drives, or track days, you quickly discover its limitations. Stage 2 is built specifically to push those limits out as far as physics and packaging will allow, while remaining comfortable and quiet for everyday use.
Up front, the Superlight Carbon Ceramic Big Brake Kit transforms the working area and thermal capacity of the system. Rotor diameter grows to a 394 x 36 mm carbon-ceramic disc paired with a 6-piston monoblock caliper and large-sweep performance pads. Pad-to-rotor surface contact increases by an incredible 93% over the standard equipment (from 77.5 cm² to 149.4 cm²), dramatically improving your ability to shed speed and manage heat. The result is shorter stops, repeatable pedal feel, and a brake system that remains composed when the car is fully loaded or deep into a track session.
Because these rotors are carbon-ceramic (carbon–silicon carbide), they bring the same advantages leveraged by modern hypercars: exceptional heat tolerance, light wear, long life, and very low rotating mass. Compared with factory hardware, the front kit alone cuts over 25 lbs of unsprung, rotating weight. That reduction improves suspension response, steering precision, and efficiency. Less mass to spin means the car feels more eager to change direction and can see gains in range with efficiency-focused wheels and tires.
The rear of the Stage 2 package is built to match. Our Superlight Large-Sweep Carbon Ceramic Rotor + Pad Kit uses a 365 x 28 mm rotor with a 56 mm pad sweep annulus, increasing pad contact area by roughly 19% versus stock. Together, the pair of rear rotors sheds an additional 16 lbs of rotational unsprung weight, bringing the total system savings to over 40 lbs compared to OEM iron brakes. For a vehicle this heavy and powerful, that is a meaningful change you can feel in both acceleration response and chassis agility.
Both front and rear carbon-ceramic rotors carry a lifetime warranty against wear for the original purchaser, including unlimited track use.* These rotors are designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal pad maintenance, and they do not require periodic re-infusion or friction layer replacement. Drivers have completed multiple full seasons of track use on a single set of pads with no rotor replacement needed, making the long-term cost of ownership extremely attractive versus repeated iron rotor replacements.
Equally important, this is the latest generation of carbon-ceramic technology. The squeaks, grinds, and poor cold-weather manners associated with early OEM carbon-ceramic systems are gone. Our systems are quieter than any iron performance setup we have tested and operate smoothly from frozen mountain mornings to boiling-hot track days.
On the street, you get a firm, communicative pedal and powerful, confidence-inspiring stops with minimal dust and exceptional rotor life. On track or in high-performance driving, the system unlocks a much higher operating temperature range and resists fade when paired with the correct supporting components. For spirited track use we strongly recommend high-temperature racing brake fluid (such as Motul RBF 660 or Endless RF-650), proper bed-in, and our brake cooling duct solution. Like any brake system, fluid management and temperature control are critical at this weight and power level. When used correctly, Stage 2 delivers consistent, repeatable braking performance lap after lap.
Everything is packaged to work cleanly with the Model S platform. The kit fits all 2021+ Model S Plaid and Long Range cars, and is designed to clear factory 19″ and 21″ wheels as well as all Unplugged Performance wheels and most quality 19″+ aftermarket fitments. The default caliper finish for this package is gloss black, giving a stealth, OEM-plus look that pairs with any exterior color and wheel design.
If you drive your Model S the way Tesla intended—or beyond—you owe it a braking system that can keep up. The Stage 2: Carbon Ceramic Performance Brake System – Black Calipers is the sweet spot for owners who want serious street confidence, track-capable consistency, and long-term durability, all in a single, integrated package.

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 Tesla void my warranty if I install aftermarket parts?
A vehicle’s comprehensive warranty as a whole may not be voided due to use of aftermarket parts per the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts). However, a manufacturer may require a customer to pay for parts and labor for a repair if there is direct causation between a customer’s alteration and the product or service repair being requested. It is in both manufacturer and customer’s interest to follow logic and reason so that the system of good faith is not abused. If this topic interests you please read the law as well as your warranty documentation. Ultimately we are Tesla owners and enthusiasts, we are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice.
