Hinz Motorsport, a Milwaukee-based company known for high-performance automotive components, has announced the launch of its Hinz Motorsport Carbon Ceramic Brake System, Hinz Carbon. The system was developed in direct response to inventory shortages, rising costs, and tariffs affecting traditional carbon ceramic brake suppliers. By pursuing a high-quality alternative, the company aims to balance performance with long-term value, combining advanced materials, controlled manufacturing processes, and design improvements throughout the system.
Central to the design is a unique integrated friction layer that accommodates more aggressive brake pad compounds while meaningfully extending disc life. This feature differentiates the system within the performance braking segment. According to Rick Hinz, Owner of Hinz Motorsport, the goal was to solve a real problem in the market while raising the standard of performance. The system is built to perform at a high level and offers customers more flexibility, durability, and long-term value.
Key performance advantages include improved cold bite for enhanced braking in lower temperatures, a higher friction coefficient for stronger stopping power, and an easier bed-in process that delivers optimal performance faster after installation. Expanded pad compatibility allows drivers to tailor performance to their needs, while increased durability and longevity reduce long-term replacement costs. The system also produces low dust and noise, preserving both aesthetics and driving comfort, and offers weight savings that improve overall vehicle dynamics and handling.
The system is produced using a slower, precision-controlled manufacturing process that minimizes impurities and promotes more uniform silicon infiltration, resulting in a higher-grade silicon carbide structure. This approach contributes to greater consistency, strength, and reliability under demanding conditions. The Hinz Motorsport Carbon Ceramic Brake System has completed extensive third-party testing through PFC, an independent brake manufacturer, with after-market and OEM-level evaluations confirming its performance, durability, and positioning relative to established products in the segment.
Built for performance street, track, and race applications, the system is compatible with high-end platforms including Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, Audi, Lamborghini, BMW, and other performance-focused vehicles. It suits enthusiasts and owners looking to preserve factory carbon ceramic setups for resale, manage brake dust and noise, or run a single pad configuration across both street and track use. This provides a practical and cost-conscious option without sacrificing braking capability.
Hinz Motorsport Carbon Ceramic Brake Systems are now available for order. While some kits remain in production, orders can be placed immediately, with lead times of approximately 14 weeks for non-stock configurations. The company is actively expanding inventory to meet demand. For more information, visit www.hinzmotorsport.com/pages/hinz-carbon-ceramic-brake-discs.
