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.

Fitment and compatibility

  • Fits all Tesla Model X Long Range and Model X Plaid from 2021 onward

  • Compatible with any factory or aftermarket wheel that clears the stock caliper

  • Direct replacement for factory front rotors and pads, no permanent modifications required

Key specifications

  • Rotor size: 394×32 mm with larger annulus for increased friction sweep

  • Rotor weight: 12.9 lb per rotor

  • Construction: carbon silicon carbide ceramic discs with forged 6061 aluminum hats

  • Pads: oversized large sweep performance pads matched to the system

  • Included: left and right rotors, left and right pads

  • Warranty: lifetime use warranty on the carbon ceramic rotors

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.

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

      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.

      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.

      Do these carbon ceramic rotors have a warranty?

      They carry a lifetime use warranty on the carbon ceramic rotors. Carbon ceramic construction is what modern hypercars use precisely because it resists wear and lasts, and the compound is tuned for a wide temperature window with strong initial bite and low noise. Pads remain a normal wear item.

      What is included in the Big Sweep front kit?

      You get left and right rotors and left and right pads, matched as a system. Brake fluid is supplied by you so you can pick your preferred high-temperature racing fluid. For spirited use we also recommend adding our stainless steel sport brake lines to improve pedal firmness and durability.

      Will these front carbon ceramics fit under my current wheels?

      They are compatible with any factory or aftermarket wheel that clears the stock caliper, since the caliper does not change size. That covers the vast majority of Model X wheel setups, factory or aftermarket. If you are unsure about a specific wheel, check caliper clearance before ordering.

      How much lighter are these carbon ceramic front rotors than stock?

      Each front rotor weighs just 12.9 lb, or 25.9 lb across the axle, which is more than 33 lb lighter than the factory front rotors. That is over 55 percent lighter at the front. Cutting rotating mass reduces the effort the motors need to spin the wheels and drops unsprung weight so the suspension reacts faster over rough pavement.

      How can a brake upgrade improve my Model X range?

      By removing rotating and unsprung mass. Lighter rotors take less energy to accelerate and slow, so you feel crisper response and see an efficiency bump on the routes you drive most. Add the Superlight rear carbon ceramic kit and total rotational savings exceed 59 lb front to rear.

      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.
