Product Details
What it is
This upgrade replaces the stock front rotors and pads on your 2021 and newer Model X Long Range or Model X Plaid with a lightweight carbon ceramic system designed for daily efficiency and confident braking. The kit keeps the factory front caliper, which preserves OE pedal feel and simplifies installation, while delivering a major cut in unsprung and rotational mass that you notice every time you accelerate, steer, or stop.
Why weight matters
Each front rotor weighs only 12.9 lb. Across the axle, that is 25.9 lb total and more than 33 lb lighter than stock. Cutting rotating mass reduces the effort your motors need to spin up the wheels and it lowers unsprung weight so the suspension can react faster over broken pavement. The result is crisper response, smoother ride quality, and improved efficiency on the routes you drive most. If you add our optional Superlight rear large sweep carbon ceramic rotor and pad kit, total rotational savings exceed 59 lb, multiplying these benefits front to rear.
Materials that make the difference
The rotors use a next generation carbon silicon carbide ceramic matrix designed for long service life, stable friction, and resistance to thermal fade. Forged 6061 aluminum hats save additional mass and isolate heat. We pair the rotors with oversized racing derived pads that feature a larger than stock sweep area to maximize clamping from the standard caliper. The compound is tuned for daily use, providing strong initial bite, low noise, and consistent performance across a wide temperature window.
Optimized for daily driving and efficiency
This is the lightest front brake solution when retaining the factory caliper, which keeps unsprung and rotational mass to a minimum. That is ideal for street driving, spirited canyon runs, and even straight line performance where quick launches benefit from lower rotating inertia. Pedal effort remains natural, and the larger friction footprint helps deliver confident, repeatable stops in traffic, on long descents, and in wet weather.

Installation notes and recommendations
Use high temperature brake fluid during installation to support consistent pedal feel under repeated stops. For drivers who enjoy spirited use, we recommend our Stainless Steel Sport Brake Line Set to improve pedal firmness and durability. Bedding procedures should be followed to condition the pads and rotors for best performance. Because this kit retains the factory caliper, serviceability remains simple and parts access is straightforward.
When to choose the BBK instead
If your priority is repeated high speed lapping or extended heavy braking on track, select our Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit. That system uses a larger caliper and thicker rotor designed to manage sustained heat loads that go beyond daily driving and occasional canyon runs.
Why it works
More than fifty five percent lighter than the factory front rotors and engineered with a larger friction sweep, this system removes mass where it matters most and turns the stock caliper into a sharper tool. You get improved deceleration feel, better steering precision over rough surfaces, and an efficiency bump you will notice in everyday use. Add the optional Superlight rear kit to balance the chassis and maximize total rotating mass reduction for an even more responsive Model X.
The bottom line
This Big Sweep Carbon Ceramic Front Rotor and Brake Pad Kit is the smart way to bring supercar level materials and real world efficiency to a heavy electric SUV. It looks stock behind the wheels, installs cleanly, and delivers a measurable advantage in the places you feel every day.

Why choose the Big Sweep front kit over a full big brake kit?
The Big Sweep kit keeps unsprung and rotational mass to an absolute minimum by reusing the stock caliper, which is ideal if daily efficiency and response are your goals. A big brake kit adds a bigger caliper and rotor for track thermal capacity, at more weight and cost. Pick the Big Sweep if you want supercar materials that look stock behind the wheels and shine in everyday driving.
What size are the rotors and what are they made of?
The rotors measure 394×32 mm with a larger annulus for more friction sweep, built from carbon silicon carbide ceramic discs on forged 6061 aluminum hats. The aluminum hats save mass and isolate heat, while the ceramic matrix resists thermal fade and lasts a long time. Oversized large-sweep pads maximize clamping from the standard caliper.
Will this kit fit my 2021+ Model X Long Range as well as the Plaid?
It fits all Tesla Model X Long Range and Model X Plaid models from 2021 onward. Because it keeps the factory front caliper, it is a direct replacement for the stock front rotors and pads with no permanent modifications. It clears any factory or aftermarket wheel that already clears the stock caliper.
Does keeping the factory caliper make installation easier?
Yes. Retaining the OE caliper preserves the factory pedal feel and keeps serviceability simple, since parts access does not change. Use high-temperature brake fluid during installation and follow the bedding procedure to condition the pads and rotors. We can handle the fitting at our Los Angeles facility if you prefer a professional job.
Is this the right kit for heavy track use, or is it more of a street upgrade?
This is the lightest front solution that keeps the factory caliper, tuned for street driving, spirited canyon runs, and straight-line launches where low rotating inertia helps. For repeated high-speed lapping and sustained heavy braking, the Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit uses a larger caliper and thicker rotor built for track heat loads.
