Carbon ceramic discs are of course very lightweight. In fact, each one of our carbon ceramic brake disc weighs just 55% of the weight of the much smaller factory cast iron ones. Each carbon disc weighs 5.7kg (12.6lb) versus 10.4kg (22.9lb) for the factory Golf 7R / S3 disc.

By installing carbon ceramic brakes, a car’s all-important unsprung weight can be reduced, increasing potential speed, ride and handling - even fuel efficiency! These performance advantages are almost as important to F1 engineers as the actual braking efficiency improvements.
