Surface Transforms have been offering an alternative to Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCBs) for nearly a decade. Essentially the benefits of ST ceramics are they are lighter, more durable, more resilient to heat and offer a better outright pedal feel at the limit.
As well as allowing you to drive the car harder and more precisely, the other benefit to the patented ‘layer’ construction is that the discs can be ‘refaced’ two times, unlike PCCBs that can’t be refinished. They are also usefully half the price of replacement PCCBs. A lot of people who regularly use their cars on track will buy STs and remove factory PCCBs to keep and replace when car is ready to sell. The STs can be kept and used again.
Surface Transforms plc (LON:SCE) are experts in the development and production of carbon-ceramic materials and the UK’s only manufacturer of carbon-ceramic brakes for automotive use.
