Front Steel Big Brake Kit for Model 3 & Y

Anyone who’s driven their Model 3 or Model Y hard on the track or twisty roads will know that the braking system on these Tesla vehicles are perfectly adequate for normal road driving, but with the combination of high weight and huge power that these cars have, there’s certainly room for braking improvement when driven hard.

Adding stopping power is one of the smartest investments you can make in your vehicle. Whether your focus is having more fade-free fun on your favourite backroad or at the track, or simply getting your kids to school safely, improving your braking performance is pure upside. Full stop.

Why fit?

Many Tesla owners want a track-capable high performance Big Brake Kit – but one that doesn’t break the bank! This is the absolute best-of-breed no-compromise big brake kit, crucially developed exclusively for Teslas. Using the same proven calipers from our racing-winning Superlight Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit, combined with Performance Friction (PFC) built V3 iron discs plus our PFC-produced specially designed brake pad compounds.

The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are very capable performance cars, but the considerable weight of the vehicle overtaxes the factory braking system, even with upgraded components. Ultimately quality matters, and size matters as well. This kit has the best of both worlds with the highest quality components from the world’s best factories combined with the massive sizing of 394x35mm discs and 6 piston calipers that any track-driven Tesla truly needs to win.

This huge 394mm 6 Piston UP Iron BFB kit does indeed fit with UP’s 18″ forged race wheels and can fit some other but not all 18″ forged wheels with high inner barrel clearance (18″ Model 3 stock wheels will not fit). 19″ wheels and above will fit even more easily with less thought needed. Please contact us if any concerns about fitting your car’s wheels.

Product Features

For the racers out there, PFC needs no introduction, but for those newer to motorsports, PFC is the official brake supplier for Porsche factory motorsports vehicles including Porsche 991 GT3 Cup race cars. PFC ‘ZeroFailures’ discs are well respected for unmatched durability under the harshest racing conditions. The V3 version PFC rotors we use are the latest generation of PFC’s patented technology and impressively do not use traditional bolt hardware to join the 2pc disc/bell design. This also makes them more silent and rattle-free than traditional bolted 2-piece disc designs.

Our Performance Friction (PFC) full floating Direct Drive attachment system allows the brake disc to naturally expand/contract both radially and axially without being constrained by the hub. This helps eliminate disc warping, reduces drag, and eliminates thermal judder vibrations and pulsations. Due to the high quality of PFC’s design and manufacturing, the Direct Drive rotors are completely silent and rattle-free – a trait not typically found in 2-piece designs. PFC custom develops their own proprietary metallurgy for these discs as well, ensuring the longest lifespan and best performance.

FAQ

Got questions? Maybe these answers can help!

Why modify my Tesla?

There’s no single answer to that! Much of the world of car modification revolves around the reality that a mass-produced car, built to a competitive price, has to be a compromise in some way to all of us.

Whether you are looking for daily-driving comfort, upgraded replacement parts for a high-mileage car or looking to join the increasing number of Tesla owners enjoying the immense capabilities of their car on track days, autocross, hillclimbs and sprints, our range has something for every Tesla owner.

Many people start off by simply needing to replace failing parts on their Tesla (very typically worn out suspension arms/bushes), but can see the error in choosing factory replacement arms that are certain to fail again in future. Or worse, the false economy of choosing cheap Far-Eastern copy parts that are of unknown quantity when it comes to durability and indeed safety. But with the longevity that a Tesla drivetrain offers us, it makes more sense than ever to invest in quality replacement parts on the chassis side and take a longer-term view of ownership as the mileage increases.

Others aren’t looking for improved performance. Rather, it's our Luxury suspension offerings, or the growth in ‘overland’ upgrades that are fully capable of heading off the beaten track that are of interest. For these customers, it’s the certain knowledge that their car can be better for their needs than mass-production can ever allow.

So many of our customers simply love the performance of their Tesla – often the fastest car they’ve ever owned. But for those that have come from a performance ICE car, they can feel that the Tesla’s chassis and braking capabilities still have some room for improvement to match the straight-line go.

Whatever your reasons and motivations, jump in to the world of modifying your Tesla without any concerns, and let us help you tailor the perfect Tesla for you.

Do you install parts?

No, we don't provide a fitting service. All Unplugged Performance parts are designed and manufactured in a way that any competent professional can install our parts on your Tesla - just the same as on any ICE car.

Have you checked our Fitting Guides? They are a very helpful resource for anyone carrying out this fitting service.

Of course, if you have any more questions about fitting, please don't hesitate to Contact Us.

Do you ship overseas?

Yes, we do. Although we are predominantly UK-based, we serve customers all over Europe and sometimes beyond.

Click on the currency button in the header to see prices in €Euros.

Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout. If your country doesn't have shipping calculated, please Contact Us and we'll get a competitive quote for you.

Please note: local taxes and duties may apply when you import products into your country which will be your responsibility.

A product is showing as 'None available from UK stock'. What does this mean?

We do our best to hold as much inventory here in the UK as possible. But of course, sometimes products go out of stock.

Or in the case of certain specialist parts or our wheel range, where there are multiple sizes, colours and configurations these are often manufactured to order in the USA.

So, orders that show as 'None available from UK stock' will be sourced from our team at Unplugged Performance in California. You may go ahead and place your order and we will get it ordered from USA and update you with expected delivery date.

Although you may prefer to Contact Us first, and we can give a best estimate on likely delivery time.

How long will it take to get my orders?

It depends on where you are. Orders for the UK will be processed immediately and typically take 5-7 business days to arrive.

Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.

However, if a product shows as being unavailable from UK stock, we will need to source from the Unplugged Performance USA team in California. In this case we will let you know the expected delivery times as soon as possible.

Of course, if you'd like to Contact Us first, we can always confirm timing estimates before you place your order.

How can I find Fitting Instructions?

We have fitting guides for many of our most popular products.

Please check out Fitting Guides for our list of useful installation resources.

What about warranty?

We are entirely confident in our products, and offer a 12-month warranty against defects or design faults within fair use.

If your Tesla is still under manufacturers warranty, please be aware that fitting aftermarket parts may affect the Tesla terms and conditions - although only for those mechanical elements relating to the fitment of our products.
