Carbon ceramic brakes have always been a love-hate relationship in the track day community. They offer many benefits over cast iron brakes with the only real drawback being the replacement costs, even though they typically last significantly longer than cast iron rotors. The end result is track enthusiasts pursuing cast iron brake rotor conversions or spec’ing their cars with cast iron rotors, in the process giving up both braking performance and handling. As the Exclusive North American Distributor for ST Carbon Ceramic Rotors, we offer an alternative solution through ST’s innovative technology, where you can get all the benefits listed below of the ST carbon ceramic rotors and at a much more cost-effective price point

“I race a 2016 Porsche GT4 in Australia and have had the pleasure of receiving advice and technical support from John and Gavin at Autoquest who have helped with my race setup and getting the most out of this wonderful car. Most recently I fitted a set of Surface Transforms Carbon Ceramic brake rotors to the Porsche (supplied by Autoquest) and the results are outstanding. The brakes run noticeably cooler and combined with Pagid RSC1 pads there is zero fade and a great feeling pedal. The unsprung weight of approx. 23 kgs no doubt helps the suspension performance. Thanks John and Gavin I hope to keep working with you and the wonderful team at Autoquest to make my GT4 the best performing car down under”……..Tim Hendy 2017 Australian Tarmac Rally Champion
Remember the VW I.D. R that smashed the Pike's Peak Hillclimb record? Well this weekend it just beat the Goodwood Electric hillclimb record by 3.5 seconds and is going for the overall record next year.
This car is running ST ceramic rotors, and yours can too
