1. Why Choose a "Disc Exchange" Upgrade?
-
Maximize Existing Assets: There is no need to discard your high-performance AP Racing calipers. Through precision engineering and custom-designed center hats (bells), we seamlessly replace your heavy steel rotors with lightweight Carbon Ceramic discs.
-
Cost-Efficiency: Avoid the redundant cost of purchasing new calipers. This solution allows you to invest your budget precisely where it matters most: the core material that defines braking limits.
2. Front Axle: AP Racing Calipers + Custom Carbon Ceramic Discs
-
Superior Friction Coefficient: Paired with specialized CCB brake pads, the friction level remains exceptionally stable even under extreme temperatures. This eliminates the common "brake judder" and "power fade" that G-Class owners often experience during high-speed heavy braking with steel discs.
-
Reduced Front-End Load: The G-Class features a heavy engine and high inertia. Reducing unsprung weight by 10-15kg on the front axle significantly minimizes "understeer," making the steering response sharper and more precise.
3. Rear Axle: CTE RACING EPB Calipers + Carbon Ceramic Discs (Full Integration)
-
The Ultimate EPB Solution: Replace the factory single-piston rear calipers with CTE RACING Monobloc EPB Motor Calipers. These are designed to be fully compatible with the original Mercedes-Benz Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) protocol.
-
Visual & Performance Symmetry: Upgrading both axles to Carbon Ceramic discs ensures perfect braking balance. Visually, the massive rotors fill the void within the large G-Class wheels, providing a complete, high-end aesthetic that matches the vehicle’s prestige.
