Greetings from CTE Carbon Composites!
As a new vendor (and a new brand), we are looking for a tester/development partner in the F80 Community for our Carbon Ceramic Brakes. While we already have the G80 fitment available, we would like also to make an F80 fitment.
Note: We were vendors before on the E9X forum (MFactory) but decided not to change our username to reflect the new company as we still get PMs from customers.
You can learn more about CCB/CCM Brakes and why our Brakes are superior to our competitors HERE <- This page also answers all of the questions surrounding CCB/CCM brakes, their advantages and disadvantages.
Achieve the ultimate in stopping power with the CTE Carbon Ceramic Brakes. By upgrading from regular Iron Brakes to Carbon Ceramic, you can experience a dramatic increase in braking performance throughout the temperature range.

Diamond Cut to exacting tolerances from T700s-grade Continuous (Long) Carbon Fibre imported from Toray Japan
Our near-peer competitors use inferior T300-grade Continuous (Long) Carbon Fibre (T700s has a tensile strength approximately 40% greater than the cheaper T300 grade), while most other competitors on the market (including Brembo/SGL and OE, which are no different from the cheap Chinese Knock-Offs available) cut corners and use T300-grade Chopped (Short) Carbon Fibre, which is the primary reason for the infamous cracked discs, giving CCM Brakes their bad reputation.
Designed using leading-edge Solidworks 3D CAD & Cosmos FEA software
Advanced heat profiling and rigorous real-world testing in partnership with both OE and professional race teams (Ferrari S.p.As 488 Challenge Cars, BYD Autos U9 Hypercar and Three Five Motorsports Rally Cars, to name a few) around the world ensure a competitive advantage over our competitors! Fully inclusive testing covers our 3 main target markets: Professional Circuit Racing, Professional Rally Racing and High-End Street Performance.
Our Winning Formula?: "Vertical Integration Manufacturing" (currently at 90%) + Governmental & Military Contracts + OE Contracts (Aerospace & Automotive). By fully controlling our supply chain, this allows us to offer "Superior" consumer-level products at significantly "Lower Cost" than our competitors!
Specifications
- Made from T700s-grade Continuous (Long) Carbon Fibre imported from Toray Japan
- 2pc floating brake discs. Bells are machined from Forged 6066-T6 Aluminium (not the cheaper 6061-T6 as commonly used by our competitors)
- Patented fastener mechanism, consisting of larger M8 bolts (not the common M6 used by our competitors) forged from Stainless A4-70 grade steel
- Dynamic Test Simulations on our in-house Horiba Brake Dynamometer ensure optimum performance under ALL conditions
- ECE R90 E11 Certified Brake Pads. Choose between Street or Race Pads when ordering
- The ONLY brake manufacturer in the world actively pursuing TUV certification of Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs. Whilst it is mandatory for regular Iron discs to be TUV certified, this does not currently apply to Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs (i.e Your expensive supercar does not have fully certified brakes)
- CTE Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs can be resurfaced approx. 3-4 times over the lifespan of the disc, equivalent to having an "as new" disc each time
- Designed for use with OE Calipers, CTE Racing Calipers and select Aftermarket Calipers
- The ONLY brake manufacturer in the world to offer 290mm & 330mm fitments (for 15"/16"/17" wheels)
So why upgrade your standard iron brakes to Carbon Ceramic brakes?
For Race Applications
- Can withstand much higher temperatures than iron discs & pads, thus reducing the chances of "Brake Fade" significantly
- Do not "warp" or "deform" at extreme track temperatures, thus do not experience uneven pad wear like iron discs & pads do
- Are far more durable than iron discs & pads, thus have a far longer service life
- Are, like-for-like, around 40-50% lighter than the equivalent iron disc, thus significantly reducing "rotating mass"
- Have a higher coefficient of friction than iron discs & pads, thus increasing braking performance
For Street Applications
- Provide a more direct braking feel (you must use the correct pads)
- Improved braking performance in both wet & dry conditions, over the full operational temperature range (again, you must use the correct pads)
- Almost no brake dust whatsoever. Those who regularly wash their cars will most appreciate this
- Less noise, vibration and harshness (NVH. Again, you must use the correct pads)
- Have a service life over 3 times that of iron discs & pads. In other words, they will last you almost the lifetime of your car
- For the show car (yes, we realise some of you may find this cringe), nothing looks better than Carbon Discs that fill your wheels
- For those that already have Carbon Ceramic Brakes on their High-End performance car, superior direct-replacement brakes at 50% of the cost!
As previously mentioned, we already have the G80 fitment available. This comes in at $6965.96 (inc. 10% discount off MSRP) for the Front Pair inc. Pads.
As the F80 uses slighter smaller discs/pads (380mm vs 390mm), this would likely be priced a few hundred $s less.
You can view more information on our range of Carbon Ceramic Brake Pads HERE.

SPONSORSHIP OFFER: If you track your car and believe you can provide us with decent marketing exposure AND technical feedback, please contact us. All sponsored drivers receive a 50% Discount Off MSRP (exc. shipping), which would put the price around $3xxx for the Front Pair + Pads.
NEW FITMENTS: If you have a fitment other than the F80/G80 (e.g E92) and have the technical and practical experience to help us develop new fitments, please contact us.
If you have any questions at all, please dont hesitate to PM me, send us a WhatsApp or visit our website for full details on our Product Range, Manufacturing Process as well as Technical Articles: https://www.ctecarbon.com
