Brakes are becoming a key performance differentiatorAs power outputs rise and driver expectations shift, components like pads, discs, and callipers are playing a larger role in how vehicles perform under real-world and track conditions. This is opening up new commercial relevance for firms that supply or upgrade these parts. The contrast between standard and performance brake pads now extends beyond feel and fade resistance. These upgrades typically include larger rotors and stronger callipers designed to cope with more aggressive driving. Surface Transforms plc (LON:SCE) are experts in the development and production of carbon-ceramic materials and the UK’s only manufacturer of carbon-ceramic brakes for automotive use.
