Tesla Model 3 Brake Upgrades

Regen does the daily work on a Model 3 — which is exactly why the friction brakes need attention. Light use lets factory discs corrode, and full-weight stops demand hardware that is ready when it matters. VINIC builds carbon-ceramic conversions for the Model 3, including the Highland, sized per vehicle and confirmed against your exact car.

Available Upgrades

Carbon-Ceramic Conversion — Front & Rear

Carbon-ceramic discs that cannot rust, vehicle-specific brackets and hardware, and color-finished calipers if you want the look to match. No iron surface means no disuse corrosion — the disc you need in an emergency works the same whether you used it yesterday or last month. Every conversion is sized per vehicle: send your model year and wheel specs and we confirm before quoting.

Replacement Pads & Rotors

Street and Sport compounds plus high-carbon rotors for factory calipers — browse pads and rotors. If your factory discs already judder from corrosion, a like-for-like high-carbon replacement restores smooth stops without changing anything else.

Fitment — Confirmed Before You Buy

Model 3 hardware varies across generations and markets, so we confirm by model year, trim and wheel specs — diameter, width and offset — before you order. If something will not clear, you hear it from us first.

Complete the Setup

A conversion is the natural moment for fresh fluid and braided lines — see our DOT 4 vs DOT 5.1 guide for fluid choice and the braided lines guide for what changes at the pedal. Track-bound? Read the track day brake guide first.
