When it comes to high-performance braking, carbon ceramic brakes stand at the pinnacle, offering superior stopping power, reduced weight, and unparalleled heat resistance. However, until now, C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 owners with factory cast iron brakes had no option to upgrade to a better braking system. That changed when Triton Motorsports and Label Motorsports partnered to create the world’s first iron-to-carbon ceramic brake conversion kit for the C8 Z06—a groundbreaking innovation unveiled at SEMA Show 2024.
C8 Z06 Owners—Are You Missing Out on This Game-Changing Brake Upgrade?
Label Motorsports, known for their precision craftsmanship and radical vehicle transformations, built a full carbon fiber widebody C8 Z06, pushing the limits of design and performance. Their expertise in aerodynamics and materials made this build a showstopper. However, the factory iron brake system was a significant drawback, adding unnecessary unsprung weight and struggling with thermal efficiency under extreme driving conditions.
To match the cutting-edge build, Label Motorsports turned to Triton Motorsports, a leader in carbon ceramic brake technology. The goal? To engineer and manufacture the first-ever direct-fit carbon ceramic brake conversion kit for the C8 Z06, ensuring maximum performance, weight savings, and track-ready stopping power.
Engineering Excellence: From Concept to SEMA in Record Time
Developing a carbon ceramic brake conversion isn’t just about swapping rotors—it demands precise engineering to ensure proper thermal dynamics, balanced braking force, and compatibility with factory calipers and pads. Label Motorsports swiftly provided Triton Motorsports with exact specifications for the C8 Z06’s factory iron rotors and brake pads, allowing the design phase to commence immediately.
Precision Data & Rapid Prototyping
With SEMA 2024 as the deadline, Triton Motorsports expedited R&D, leveraging its proprietary Gen 3 Carbon Ceramic Technology, which offers:
✔ Enhanced Thermal Stability – Withstands extreme temperatures without warping or fading.
✔ 50% Weight Reduction Over Iron Rotors – Lower unsprung mass improves acceleration and handling.
✔ Extended Rotor and Pad Longevity – Increased durability under aggressive driving conditions.
✔ OEM Fitment with No Modifications Required – Direct replacement for factory iron discs.
Using precision CNC machining and aerospace-grade carbon composite materials, Triton Motorsports engineered a plug-and-play carbon ceramic brake conversion kit for the C8 Z06, making it the first of its kind in the aftermarket industry.
SEMA 2024: A Historic Unveiling
The reveal of Label Motorsports' full carbon fiber widebody C8 Z06 at SEMA Show 2024 was a landmark moment, and the Triton Motorsports Carbon Ceramic Brake Conversion was a major highlight. Automotive enthusiasts, industry professionals, and performance car builders witnessed firsthand the cutting-edge braking technology that now allows C8 Z06 owners to experience the benefits of carbon ceramic brakes in a track-proven, street-ready package.
Why Upgrade to Carbon Ceramic Brakes for the C8 Z06?
If you own a C8 Z06, upgrading to carbon ceramic brakes isn’t just about performance—it’s about maximizing your driving experience. Key benefits include:
🔥 Reduced Rotational Mass – Shedding over 50% of the rotor weight enhances acceleration, suspension response, and overall drivability.
🔥 Exceptional Heat Management – Carbon ceramic rotors operate at higher temperatures without brake fade, making them ideal for track days and spirited driving.
🔥 Longer Lifespan – Unlike iron rotors that wear down rapidly under extreme use, carbon ceramic discs last significantly longer.
🔥 Dust-Free, Low Maintenance Braking – Minimal brake dust keeps wheels cleaner while reducing pad and rotor wear.
