Carbon-Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brakes, once found only on the world s most expensive supercars, have been developed for the first specifically-tuned aftermarket application the Nissan R35 GT-R. These 400mm disc assemblies are 20mm larger than the standard 380mm OE iron discs, yet reduce weight by nearly half. This is rotating and unsprung weight, leading to vast improvements in all performance categories: acceleration, handling and braking.
After three decades of using carbon-carbon brakes on racing vehicles (even longer on fighter jets), AP Racing CCM discs are the next technological platform. Advancements in materials, process technologies and nanoparticle technology make it possible to use a special carbon fiber precursor along with new, patented process techniques. The unidirectional precursor is needled into a 3-Dimensional, continuous carbon fiber preform. This differs from lower cost technologies that use loose, chopped strand fibers and thin woven face plies bonded on as a friction surface. A true 3D matrix is stronger, more robust and provides longer life than the more brittle alternative. As a comparison, think quality hardwood versus particle board or MDF with a veneer.
The Stillen-AP Racing CCM brake upgrade kit includes:
Front & Rear CCM brake disc/hat assemblies
Front & Rear CCM-specific street & light track use brake pads
Caliper spacers
Note: Due to the dramatic reduction in overall mass, brake temperatures will run higher than the O.E. iron disc system given the same usage. It is strongly recommended that a high temperature wet/dry brake fluid is used in conjunction with this brake package.
