SURFACE TRANSFORMS KOENIGSEGG CCXR FRONT DISCS SKU: ST-A-1175

Here are the advantages of the Surface Transforms Koenigsegg CCXR Front Discs (SKU: ST-A-1175), based on specs and claims by Surface Transforms and their dealers. Key Advantages

  1. Reduced Weight / Lower Unsprung Mass
    • Four of these carbon-ceramic discs weigh about 20 kg, which is about 40% of what four standard iron discs weigh. This is a large saving.  
    • Lower unsprung weight improves handling, responsiveness, suspension performance, and ride quality. It reduces inertia of rotating parts.  
  2. Improved Heat Management and Thermal Conductivity
    • The discs use a proprietary carbon-ceramic material called CCST. It is made using continuous carbon fibre interwoven in a 3D matrix, rather than chopped / discontinuous fibre.  
    • This leads to higher heat conductivity, allowing better dissipation of heat during heavy braking, thus reducing the operating temperature of the braking system. Lower temperature reduces risk of fade.  
  3. Longer Lifespan / Durability
    • Because of the material & construction, these discs are much more resistant to wear, thermal degradation, etc.  
    • Surface Transforms offers a refurbishment service: the discs can be refurbished up to three times. This extends usable life significantly.  
    • For many users, the discs may last the lifetime of the car under typical road + track usage.  
  4. Performance Improvement (Braking Feel, Modulation, Fade Resistance)
    • Strong initial bite, better modulation and control under heavy braking (especially useful on the track) are claimed.  
    • Cooler running discs → less thermal fading.  
  5. Reduced Brake Dust and Cleaner Operation
    • Carbon-ceramic materials tend to produce much less brake dust than conventional iron discs, both because they wear more slowly and because the wear particles are different.  
    • Less corrosion / oxidation vs iron discs.  
  6. Strength, Structural Integrity
    • The continuous carbon 3D matrix gives a stronger, more durable disc under thermal & mechanical stresses.  
  7. Better Maintaining Performance Over Repeated Use
    • Because of the durability, less risk of warping, cracking or distortion under repeated or high-stress (track/spirited driving) conditions.
    • Refurbishment helps maintain flatness, tolerances, performance over time.  
  8. Cost Efficiency Over Long Term (for High Use Cases)
    • Although the upfront cost is high, over time with refurbishment and longer lifespan the cost per mile / per braking event can be lower.  
    • Also the reduction in replacement frequency vs standard or even OEM carbon-ceramic may make these economical for someone using the car heavily.
