Installed the Unplugged Performance Carbon Ceramic Brakes on Plaid

[N0sferatU]

Got them installed yesterday. Brake has a lot more confidence. Did some back road driving with track mode on and braked hard and late in the corners. These are definitely better than OEM. Does this brake like say a true sports car (like my R8)? Not even close. It's still an almost 5,000lb sedan. However it does brake much more how the car should have from the factory. No fade. Went with the subtle look black calipers to match the factory rear brakes.

I opted to not go for the "look at me" red color on this paint scheme of Plaid.

So how does one get brakes similar to the R8 or any other performance car?

Shed weight. You aren't beating physics in a car this heavy. On street I never need to exploit the full braking system on my R8. At Sebring that's a different story.

Higher friction pads and tires would do the same.

I am getting these. Any advice?

None just put Castrol SRF or some sort of upgraded brake fluid in

Late to the Plaid game, but does this kit fit on the 19" wheels?

Ask them but I'm fairly certain it does fit the 19" wheels and what they promote over the factory upgrade.

This one does not fit the OEM 19" wheels. I have their lightweight CCB kit and that one does fit.

If you're not dead set on using OEM 19", get the track pack from Tesla instead, it's a better deal.
