SURFACE TRANSFORMS: Next-Gen Carbon Ceramic Technology for Peak Braking
In the high-stakes world of supercar performance, thermal management is everything. Standard brakes fade, and traditional carbon ceramics can be brittle and prohibitively expensive to replace. SURFACE TRANSFORMS has rewritten the rulebook with their CCST (Carbon Ceramic Support Technology). Utilizing a proprietary continuous carbon fiber process, they produce discs that offer three times the heat dissipation of conventional ceramics. ATOMIC-SHOP Ukraine is the official supplier, bringing aerospace-grade stopping power to the local racing and luxury car community.
For drivers in Ukraine pushing their limits on local circuits or European high-speed tracks, SURFACE TRANSFORMS provides a level of consistency that OEM systems simply cannot match. At ATOMIC-SHOP, we recommend these discs for Porsche, McLaren, and high-performance BMW models as the ultimate upgrade in unsprung mass reduction and braking endurance.
Comparison Table: Steel vs. OEM Carbon-Ceramic vs. SURFACE TRANSFORMS
| Feature | Standard Steel | OEM Carbon-Ceramic | SURFACE TRANSFORMS (CCST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight Reduction | Baseline (Heavy) | ~50% Reduction | ~50% Reduction + Better Balance |
| Heat Conductivity | Low | Moderate | 3x Higher (Continuous Fiber) |
| Track Durability | Short Lifespan | Prone to oxidation/pitting | Exceptional (Aerospace standards) |
| Refurbishability | No (Replace only) | Rarely / Never | Yes (Up to 3 times per disc) |
The Science of Continuous Fiber: A Clear Advantage
The core innovation of SURFACE TRANSFORMS available at ATOMIC-SHOP is the use of a 3D multi-directional weave of continuous carbon fiber. Most OEM carbon-ceramic discs are made from "chopped" fibers, which limits their ability to conduct heat and makes them prone to cracking under extreme stress. The CCST architecture creates a unified structure that handles temperatures exceeding 1000°C with ease while offering a smoother, quieter braking experience during daily use.
FAQ: ATOMIC-SHOP Insights on SURFACE TRANSFORMS
What makes SURFACE TRANSFORMS more cost-effective?
While the initial investment is high, the "refurbishment" service makes them the smart choice for long-term ownership. Instead of buying new discs when the friction surface wears down, the discs can be sent back to the UK factory to be resurfaced. ATOMIC-SHOP can manage this process for you, effectively giving you three lifespans out of a single set of discs.
Are they suitable for the road?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of the continuous fiber technology is improved cold-braking performance. Unlike older ceramic technologies that felt "numb" until warm, SURFACE TRANSFORMS discs provide immediate bite and excellent pedal feel, making them as safe for a rainy commute in Kyiv as they are for a hot lap on the track.
Which pads should I use?
To protect your investment, ATOMIC-SHOP recommends using only approved pad compounds. We stock specialized Pagid and Surface Transforms pads engineered to work in harmony with the CCST surface, ensuring maximum stopping power and minimal disc wear.
