Shopetuners EM-CCB Carbon Ceramic Brakes


Advanced braking technology. Lightweight performance. Long-term value.
At Shopetuners, we continuously develop solutions that go beyond OEM performance — engineered for drivers who demand more.

Introducing the EM Carbon Ceramic Braking System (EM-CCB)

Shopetuners is revolutionizing braking performance with the EM Carbon Ceramic Braking System (EM-CCB) — a game-changing alternative to traditional OEM (steel & carbon) brakes. The EM-CCB delivers superior performance and long-term value, offering:
Up to 60% weight reduction compared to OEM steel brakes for improved handling and agility
Advanced carbon ceramic technology for consistent braking performance, even under extreme conditions
Longer lifespan and steadier performance than OEM carbon-ceramic (CCM) systems
Compatible to ALL vehicles whether equipped with steel or carbon braking systems (plug & play)
All of this at a fraction of the price of OEM alternatives

Shopetuners EM-CCB: Performance redefined.

It is known that the steel braking system on Alfa Romeo Giulia/Stelvio Quadrifoglio which came on those cars from factory doesn't meet the expectations of many and their driving habits or certain applications (spirited driving or track use) which led many to search for an aftermarket alternative to upgrade from their OEM brakes. Many aftermarket alternatives are available which perform well but those come for a high price tag and requires to be changed multiple times during your car ownership. As for the cars equipped from factory with CCM (carbon) braking system and although they perform very well once they are in operating temperatures, they came at a very high price which many could not afford or justify and converted back to steel systems.
For many the OEM CCM brakes from factory was a nightmare to Giulia owners due to the high cost to change the pads (≈3000 euros) or even worse when it's time to change the discs (≈15000 euros). This fact devalued the price of those cars (when bought used) as many ran away from them as it would cost almost half the price of the car itself just to change the brakes.
Our EM-CCB (EM-Carbon Ceramic Brakes) are the answer — next-generation performance, superior durability, and affordable ownership in one complete package.

CCM (Ceramic Carbon Material) vs EM-CCB (Carbon Ceramic Brakes) vs Steel

The carbon braking system that came on those cars from factory (CCM) is over 20 years old technology (main users: Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Chevrolet Corvette, Nissan, GM, Pagani, Honda/Acura, Jaguar Land Rover) and has been superseded in the past years by newer material composites (CCB) (main users: Porsche, Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, AMG (Mercedes) , BMW-M etc.) that performs much better and has a lot of advantages on the CCM brakes.
While CCM brakes are made of silicon carbide matrix reinforced with chopped bundle of carbon (short fiber), the CCB brakes (1st generation introduced in 2009) are made of composite material whose ceramic matrix is based on silicon + silicon carbide with extremely high hardness reinforced by the presence of (long fiber) continuous carbon layered sheets finished with SiC layer on the surface of the discs (gives it the shiny mirror effect compared to CCM) which gives the EM-CCB many advantages on CCM which we will list below:
Performs much better in colder temperatures (much faster than CCM in reaching operating temperatures)
Stronger material (doesn’t chop, break or crack as the CCM)
No oxidization as on CCM because of the SiC layer
Less fade, resists higher temperatures before they start to show any signs of fade
Longer life span
Can be resurfaced, refurbished 2-3 times while CCM cannot.
Feature / Metric CCM (Carbon Ceramic Material) EM-CCB (Carbon Ceramic Brake)
Material Composition Silicon carbide matrix reinforced with chopped short carbon fibers Silicon + silicon carbide matrix reinforced with continuous long carbon-fiber layers
Fiber Structure Short fibers Long continuous fibers
Mechanical Strength Moderate — prone to cracking & edge chipping High — superior tensile and fracture strength, excellent crack resistance
Thermal Management Uneven heat distribution, localized hot spots, and higher fade risk Excellent heat conduction, even temperature spread, superior fade resistance
Surface Protection No surface coating — oxidation occurs over time Outer SiC (silicon carbide) layer provides full oxidation protection
Cold Performance Requires temperature buildup; weak initial bite when cold Immediate bite — effective from cold to 900°C+
Longevity Good lifespan but cannot be refurbished Longer lifespan; can be resurfaced or refurbished 2–3 times
Maintenance Costs Very high (OEM pads ≈ €3,000, OEM discs ≈ €15,000) Much lower total ownership cost
Manufacturing Technology 20+ year-old process used by Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin Latest-generation composite technology used by Porsche, AMG, Lamborghini, Bugatti, BMW M
Surface Finish Matte grey appearance Mirror-like reflective finish from SiC coating
Performance Consistency Degrades under repeated thermal cycling Stable performance across extreme conditions
Durability in Humid / Salty Environments Prone to oxidation and surface degradation Resistant to environmental corrosion
Refurbishment Not possible — replacement required when worn Can be machined and refurbished multiple times
Around 60% lighter than steel brakes which reduces significantly rotational mass, unsprung weight which you will instantly feel as the steering will be lighter, sharper and the car will accelerate faster.
Uniform and stable friction coefficient averaging around 0.45 (CCB will still work over 900C while steel brakes will give up around 400).
Huge reduction in brake dust
Cools much faster
Longer longevity which can easily exceed 250,000km under normal use (pads will last around 100,000km).
Stronger stopping power, shorter stopping distance
More cost effective over years of ownership

EM-CCB Brakes specifications

Our EM-CCB applications (composed of discs + pads) are intended and built specifically for all Alfa Romeo car models and any other car manufacturer which their owners are looking to upgrade their braking system. We are offering different variations to different applications.

In addition to the above, we offer custom (Steel or Carbon Ceramic) BBK (Big Brakes Kits) solutions for whoever is looking to upgrade their whole car braking systems including their calipers. (calipers + discs + pads). (choose Custom variant #4 from variation list).

EM-CCB uses the latest aerospace-grade T700 grade of long carbon fiber which has a tensile strength approximately 50% greater than the cheaper T300 grade short fiber (CCM) which is used in CCM brakes and is the primary reason for the infamous cracked discs, giving CCM brakes their bad reputation.
Our EM-CCB brakes undergo different and sophisticated manufacturing processes to reach the end product, starting with preparing the long fiber weaves, adding the different material and composites to it, pressurizing and baking the different type of materials together (carbon + silicon carbide + resin) then pouring silicon to the surfaces and ending it with CNC milling and surface polishing.
After the end product manufacturing is completed, bench testing cycles are done to ensure proper function of the discs under extreme scenarios and temperatures.
Brakes temperature can be activated on Quadrifoglio models after converting from OEM Steel to EM-CCB brakes.
