    Vendor The Ultimate Carbon Ceramic Brake System for Model S Plaid

    Yes you can. Also understand that RB CCB rotors are made of long (continuous) carbon fibers so they are very strong comparee to OE/Brembo's chopped fibers which are fragile that can easily get chipped or break when subject to street derbies, gravels etc., which is more to the common knowledge...

    20" should fit the rear kit. Dust-shield modification: Front: Not required. In fact we found out the front dust shield was made for 390mm rotor. Rear: Yes - Even with 20" wheel due to the OE dust shield (edge lip) has no room for a larger rotor. It can be trimmed, bent, or removed.

    Yes. 420 front and 390 rear, comparable to Taycan and the latest 992 Turbo S, but RB CCB system is more efficient, and our rotors are made of long carbon fibers with directional vanes so they are more durable and efficient in dissipating the hear.
