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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Strength, Structural Integrity
- The continuous carbon 3D matrix gives a stronger, more durable disc under thermal & mechanical stresses.
- 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.
- 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.
