Default Anyone heard of this company for PCCB discs?

Just saw in the classifieds Soul is selling a 997.2 PCCB kit for 13k. Looks to be using Stopflex rotors so I ventured over to Stopflex's site. Never knew they existed. Wondering how long they've been around and if anyone has heard of them or used them. Looks to have som nice quality rotors.

I was curious about them too and I left a message for the seller but have not heard back. It appears Soul is listing it for a friend who isnt on the forum.

I did reach out to stopflex, it is a chinese company and made in china.

I got a quote for $6200 for their full performance 380 rotors with brembo calipers, it seems like a good deal but I dont think their rotors can be resurfaced.


Here are some answers I received for questions I ask1. Are all STOPFLEX rotors manufactured using long-fiber technology?
Yes. All STOPFLEX carbon-ceramic rotors (Street, Street & Track Day, and Racing) are produced using long-fiber carbon technology, which significantly improves durability, thermal stability, and service life compared to short-fiber constructions.

2. Where are the rotors manufactured and shipped from?
Our rotors are manufactured in China, and all orders are shipped directly from China.
We fully support international logistics with air or sea freight options.

3. Can the rotors be resurfaced? What is the cost?
We support rotor polishing / resurfacing services. However, for overseas customers, international shipping costs can be very high.
In most cases, purchasing a new rotor is more cost-effective than shipping used rotors back for resurfacing.

4. Can I upgrade to carbon-ceramic rotors while keeping my OEM calipers?
Yes, this is exactly what Option 1 is designed for.
Please note that these rotor sizes are non-standard custom specifications, so production lead time applies and stock is not available.

5. Can other carbon-ceramic pads be used on your rotors?
Our quotation already includes matched STOPFLEX ceramic brake pads, which are specifically developed to work with our rotors.
For custom rotor orders, pads are supplied together to ensure correct friction pairing and performance.


At this point I believe I am going to go with @CTE Carbon CCS rotors. Just waiting for some further testing on the rotors that they are conducting now.

If I remember correctly, I think @Hinz Motorsport is working on a solution. ST used to be the gold standard on aftermarket ceramic rotors but given the many less-than-stellar reviews I've heard about them, I'd be waiting to see how the Hinz solution looks first. CTE would be the option to try as I believe they make 997 GT sized ceramic rotors.

Very much interested in a set of ceramic rotors when it comes time to replace the brakes on my car. My question is how am I going to know that a rotor is reputable? Obviously extensive testing from people on here, but not sure I'm going to feel comfortable running something on my car that is so new and is such an important safety component.

Ive traded messages with another member here who have used CTE Carbon CCM rotors, the track focused one their review was so far 12 track days with very minimal wear and in their words "looks brand new still" That member has also ordered a CCM set for their GT3. I believe this says a lot of about the rotors made by CTE.

The other thing as well is I have been communicating a lot of with CTE here via PM. He is very up front about his rotors and how CCM are made and CCS and has been very direct that if I am going to do hard tracking then I need to go CCM and if I plan on light track days and more street driving i need to go CCS, he did end that message with there are more test coming for CCS so that he can confirm the safety for light track days with and if CCS will suffer from brake fade.

I did see @Hinz Motorsport message to me in another thread about what they are working on, also excited to see what they have.

I've read their process and it looks legit. Maybe someone can reach out to Eric Lin and pick his brain. Maybe he's offered a set at a discount for a member to be the test mule.

These are brakes and I'm sure they've done their homework to be assured that they don't disintegrate when run to extremes.

I am the current importer for Surface Transforms, but due to issues with availability and tariffs, I have been forced to pursue other options. Up until now, STs are/were the gold standard but I have been working closely with a new supplier to bring a new solution to market, likely under the name of "Hinz Carbon". We already have 997 GT3 fitments developed and have a few kits on order for customers who are mainly street driving their cars. For customers who are going to be tracking heavily, we are currently waiting for further dyno testing data before officially launching next month to ensure the longevity meets specifications. The goal is to either meet or exceed what ST is offering. Our discs use the same core technology (long-fiber) design that the ST uses, but features an additional outer protective layer that protects the core. As a result, we can run more aggressive compounds, and this should negate the need for refurbishment for those who are heavily tracking their cars. For those that aren't, we already know these far exceed the performance and durability of the factory PCCBs.

It's worth noting that these are not made in China.

We believe these will quickly become the new standard in carbon ceramics and are available at a much fairer price point. I can get customers into a set for around $15K, vs $20K for STs with tariff.

Furthermore, if a customer ever needs to replace a disc for any reason, we can offer just the carbon friction ring replacement at a great price, further negating the need and hassle of refurbs. Any manufacturing defects would be covered fully, just like an ST or factory PCCB would.

We are also able to develop new fitments in matter of days vs weeks if something isn't currently available.

Please contact us if interested, and look for more official information to drop next month.

if we have PCCBs can we just get the replacement rings?

I have considered this, but there are obstacles and drawbacks. To be honest, the cost of a new bell is only a fraction of the carbon friction ring's cost, and this way we can ensure they are assembled/balanced correctly prior to delivery.

Thanks for this Rick, please keep us posted on testing for the heavy track use.

Thanks for the info. All makes perfect sense and clearly seems like a good solution based on what you mentioned. My concern is the quality of safety components, such as brakes. Clearly seems like it isn't an issue here.

As mentioned, was asking out of curiosity.

What I'm loving about all this is we have options coming. I also am intrigued by hinz not being made in China

There is a manufacturer out of China called ICooh or Ikooh or something like that, they display their ceramic rotors at SEMA and seem to be pretty legit. They make them for all sorts of cars and sell though Alibaba. Would be interesting to see how they hold up. I think they’re around $5/6k with pads

Flame suit on, but a lot of stuff is made in China these days and it’s not all cheap garbage. Hard to know with brakes though

You nailed it in the last statement. Lots of things made in China that are fine. But with brakes and trying to stop a car at 120mph is something I don't want to test and find out for the manufacturer in China

A lot of companies were pretending that their wheels are made in USA, they're not, they're made in China and they're good quality, light and forged etc

I wouldn't be surprised if OEM manufacturers are sourcing parts from China, including brake components, including rotors. it's a massive industry over there. Their EV's are way better than ours. I think there will be a tipping point where you have to say, this stuff is legit but I don't know how to verify or who to trust. Where does Porsche get their PCCB's? Who makes them and where? It would make sense that if something is highly priced, someone finds a way to make it cheaper, doesn't mean badly made but yeah, it's just hard to verify
