Hinz Motorsport Launches Carbon Ceramic Brake System to Address Supply Shortages and Rising Costs
Hinz Motorsport introduces a new carbon ceramic brake system featuring a precision-controlled manufacturing process that enhances durability and performance, directly responding to inventory shortages and tariff-induced price hikes in the market.
Hinz Motorsport, a Milwaukee-based manufacturer of high-performance automotive components, announced the launch of its new Hinz Carbon Ceramic Brake System on April 20, 2026. The system is engineered to deliver strong braking performance while addressing supply chain disruptions and rising costs that have plagued traditional carbon ceramic brake suppliers.
The system was developed in response to inventory shortages, climbing prices, and tariffs affecting the market. Hinz Motorsport aimed to create a high-quality alternative that balances performance with long-term value, employing advanced materials, controlled manufacturing processes, and design improvements throughout the system.
A key feature of the Hinz Carbon system is its integrated friction layer, which accommodates more aggressive brake pad compounds while extending disc life. This differentiates the system within the performance braking segment. “Our goal was to solve a real problem in the market while raising the standard of performance,” said Rick Hinz, Owner of Hinz Motorsport. “We've created a system that not only performs at a very high level but also gives customers more flexibility, durability, and long-term value.”
The system boasts several performance advantages: improved cold bite for enhanced braking in lower temperatures, a higher friction coefficient for stronger stopping power, an easier bed-in process for faster optimal performance, expanded pad compatibility for tailored performance, increased durability and longevity, low dust and noise, and weight savings that improve vehicle dynamics.
Hinz Motorsport uses a slower, precision-controlled production process that minimizes impurities and promotes uniform silicon infiltration, resulting in a higher-grade silicon carbide structure. This approach enhances consistency, strength, and reliability under demanding conditions. The system has undergone extensive third-party testing through PFC, an independent brake manufacturer, with aftermarket and OEM-level evaluations confirming its performance and durability relative to established products.
The brake system is built for performance street, track, and race applications and is compatible with high-end platforms including Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, Audi, Lamborghini, BMW, and other performance-focused vehicles. It suits enthusiasts looking to preserve factory carbon ceramic setups for resale, manage brake dust and noise, or use a single pad configuration for both street and track use, offering 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 Hinz Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs.
