CEIKA WARRANTY:

• 2 years on calipers casting, caliper parts, and seals.
• 2 years on mounting hardware and brackets.
• 2 years on brake lines. DOT/ADR approved (made in UK)
• 10,000km / 3 months on rotors.

CALIPER SPECS:

• Forged 6061-T6 aerospace grade alloy 2-piece calipers
• Radial mount design for less flex
• Pistons available in 6061-T6 alloy with anti-corrosion coating, or stainless steel
• Dual seals with high temperature resistant oil ring and dust scrappers

ROTOR SPECS:

• 2-piece floating rotors with 6061-T6 aerospace grade alloy hat.
• Fully balanced from the factory
• Rotor ring in FC30 cast iron with anti corrosion coating.
• Drilled / slotted / drilled and slotted rotor ring available at no extra cost. (We advise drilled for street and slotted only for track and race applications)
• Curved vanes ventilation for optimal cooling.
• Full-floating rotors use floating hardware with anti-rattle system (removable and rebuildable). It provides a lower tendency to warp, less drag and wear as the rotor ring centers itself with the pads. Available for 330mm rotors and bigger only. The semi-floating rotor uses standard bolts instead and the rotor is fixed on the hat.
• Custom rotor hat anodized color

BRAKE PADS:

• We have four compounds of brake pads to give you high performance braking, depending on your driving conditions. You can see the description of each compound below.
• You can also use other brake pad brands (such as Alcon, AP Racing, Brembo, Ferodo, Hawk, Mintex, PAGID, Porsche, Wilwood and more) with our calipers. We can provide you the part numbers.

ROTOR SIZE vs WHEEL SIZE:

We advise the following guideline for fitment. These guidelines will work for most wheels as the outer diameter of the BBK will fit in the inner barrel. In some cases due to the design of the wheel spoke, you will need spacers to clear the spoke depending on the size of BBK kit chosen, and the wheel design. If you want to know if you will need spacers or not before purchasing, you can email us at [email protected] with your car model, year, and wheel size, and we will email you the templates to print and check precisely.

Maximum rotor diameter/kit size per wheel diameter:

15″ wheel: 286mm/304mm

16″ wheel: 304mm

17″ wheel: 330mm

18″ wheel: 356mm

19″ wheel: 380mm

20″ wheel: 405mm

We guarantee the fitment of your big brake kits to be bolt-on on your car and we will send you replacement revised parts for free of charge, if anything does not fit. However, CEIKA will not be responsible for the fitment of the wheels. Clearance problem with the wheel spokes can arise when fitting larger brakes. The wheel fitment and compatibility is the responsibility of the customers, as every car and combination of wheel is different.

We advise you to check with the templates before ordering, if you are not ready to purchase spacers in order to solve any possible clearance issues. That way, we can also point you towards a kit that will fit without spacers.

PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM:

• Depending on your application, we can provide the following parking brake systems. They are designed to be 100% compatible with the OEM design.
• Drum parking brake system with a steel drum ring in the rear aluminium rotor hats.
• Disc parking brake system using our innovative mechanism that bolts on our caliper mounting bracket and 100% compatible with your OEM cable. This will provide the easiest rear disc brake solution without the need for an extra parking brake caliper. If disc parking brakes are not available for your car, contact us and we will design it for you.
• Hydraulic handbrake for drift or race use only. This handbrake mounts in the cockpit and can be mounted vertically or horizontally. It will activate the rear calipers and provide instant locking of the rear wheels. We can provide different bores of master cylinders.

MANUFACTURING TIME:

• Manufacturing takes around 10 working days depending on your specs and availability. Shipping is 3 to 4 working days worldwide via UPS or TNT.
• We will confirm your order within 24h.
• If designing a kit from scratch, please allow us 5 working days extra for the designing and extra testing.

CEIKA BRAKE PADS COMPOUNDS:

You can purchase an extra set of brake pads with your kit, if you like, from the replacement parts section. We have the following compounds available:

– Street pads (Grey)

For street use, providing no noise, very little dust, good braking power and friction both at low and high temperatures.

These are specifically designed in order to provide good bite and feel as well as good longevity of the pads and rotors.

Optimal temperature range: 0~500°C

Maximum temperature: ~550°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.38~0.45

– Sport pads (Blue)

For street/track use, providing low noise, little dust, high braking power and friction both at low and high temperatures.

These are specifically designed in order to provide stronger bite and race feel as well as good longevity of the pads and rotors.

Optimal temperature range: 0~550°C

Maximum temperature: ~600°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.40~0.50

– Race pads (Red)

For race use only: for maximum braking power, bite and friction. Those brake pads are noisy, they will wear out the rotors faster than the street pads and produce more dust. The operating temperature range is higher and it is not safe for everyday street use.

However, they are a must for a race car or track day providing a consistent and predictable strong braking and longevity at high temperatures. Feel free to request two sets of pads if you want a set for street and a set for race for your weekend warrior.

Optimal temperature range: 100~700°C

Maximum temperature: ~750°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.42~0.58

– Pro Race pads (Yellow)

For race use only: this is a new race compound that pushes the limits even further. We were able to achieve a much higher temperature range while offering a very high coefficient of friction for extreme race use conditions.

Optimal temperature range: 100~800°C

Maximum temperature: ~850°C

Coefficient of friction: 0.58~0.68
