What the upgrade includes
The reference package combines the rotor assemblies and matched pads for the confirmed axle. The signed quotation controls the final inclusions, price and logistics.
Front and/or rear C/SiC rotor assemblies, matched to the verified RSQ8 chassis
Matched ceramic-compatible brake-pad set
Vehicle-specific aluminium hats and approved mounting hardware
Configuration for the verified factory or optional forged caliper
Rotor and pad identification linked to the approved vehicle record
Pre-dispatch surface, dimension and hardware inspection
Installation and controlled bedding guidance
Protected worldwide export packing
Wheel clearance
Check barrel diameter, spoke profile and clearance around the full caliper and rotor assembly.
Factory-caliper compatibility
Confirm the pad shape, caliper part number and complete mounting relationship before release.
Professional installation
Complete torque, fluid, leak, bedding and final road-safety procedures with a qualified technician.
How OWNSILENT manufactures C/SiC rotors
Inside the carbon-ceramic production process
These production references document OWNSILENT's general carbon-ceramic manufacturing process — carbon-fibre preparation, preform production and precision machining. They are reference production photography and are not specific to this vehicle.
Stacked carbon ring preforms
The wide frame communicates production scale and shows repeated preform geometry before later material conversion or machining stages.
Carbon preform fibre texture
The close-up reveals the visible interlaced texture and layered edge construction without making an unsupported material-state claim.
Large cylindrical preform forms
Their scale and consistent geometry are visible in this wide factory image, though their exact downstream use needs confirmation.
Frequently asked questions
RSQ8 carbon-ceramic upgrade, explained
Why upgrade an RSQ8 to carbon-ceramic brakes?+
As a heavy performance SUV, the RSQ8 carries substantial mass at speed. A carbon-ceramic upgrade reduces rotational and unsprung weight, improves fade resistance under sustained heavy use, and resists the corrosion that affects iron rotors over time.
Does this fit both pre-facelift and facelift RSQ8?+
No single dimension covers both. Rotor diameter, thickness, offset, hat depth and caliper clearance are confirmed against the verified body style and VIN before production.
Can the factory calipers be retained?+
In many applications the upgrade is engineered around the verified factory caliper. Optional forged calipers can be quoted where bracket design, hydraulic balance and wheel-barrel clearance support the conversion.
Is this a direct bolt-on upgrade?+
The rotor and hardware are engineered to the confirmed factory mounting relationship, but professional installation, torque checks and bedding remain required for a safe conversion.
What information should I send for a quotation?+
Send the VIN, body style and year, wheel size, clear photographs of the current rotors and calipers, and any OEM part numbers visible on the components.
Who should install the upgrade?+
Installation, torque procedures, brake-fluid checks, bedding and final road-safety inspection must be completed by a qualified brake technician.
