CTE Carbon CTE-CCP-ARQF Carbon Ceramic OE Replacement Brake Disc

The CTE Carbon CTE-CCP-ARQF is a direct OE replacement carbon ceramic brake disc engineered by CTE Carbon Composites — a manufacturer with deep roots in commercial and military aerospace braking technology. Designed to match or exceed the performance of factory-installed carbon ceramic brake systems, this disc offers a cost-effective upgrade path for high-end performance vehicles already equipped with carbon ceramic brakes from the factory.

Key Features:

• T700-Grade Continuous (Long) Carbon Fibre Construction: Utilizes aerospace-grade T700 Toray fibre woven into a 3D multi-directional matrix, offering approximately 40% greater tensile strength than the T300-grade chopped fibre used in most OE and competing CCM discs
• Carbon/Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) Ceramic Matrix: Manufactured via a proprietary Chemical Vapour Infiltration (CVI) process followed by siliconization, transforming the carbon/carbon preform into a dense, heat-resistant C/SiC ceramic composite
• Resurfaceable Design: The continuous-fibre 3D woven construction means the disc is significantly less prone to surface cracking and can be resurfaced multiple times to an as-new condition — unlike short-fibre discs which are single-use only
• Dramatic Weight Reduction: Approximately 40–50% lighter than an equivalent cast iron disc, substantially reducing unsprung and rotating mass for improved handling and acceleration response
• Superior High-Temperature Performance: Withstands far higher temperatures than iron discs and pads, dramatically reducing the risk of brake fade under sustained track or performance driving conditions
• Consistent Cold and Hot Bite: The higher friction coefficient of the T700 continuous-fibre matrix delivers strong, progressive bite force even from cold, with stable and consistent performance across the full operational temperature range
• OE Fitment Precision: Designed as a direct replacement for factory carbon ceramic brake discs, engineered using Solidworks 3D CAD and Cosmos FEA software with advanced heat profiling and real-world testing

CTE Carbon Composites serves as an OE supplier of carbon ceramic and carbon/carbon friction discs to major European brake manufacturers, including applications in the Porsche and hypercar markets. The CTE-CCP-ARQF brings that same aerospace and motorsport-derived technology to the consumer replacement market, providing superior stopping power, longevity, and weight savings compared to both iron brake upgrades and lower-grade carbon ceramic alternatives.
