Floating Steel Rotors and Steel-to-Carbon Ceramic Conversions by Triton Motorsports The BMW M5 G90  and BMW M5 G99 Touring  represent the most technically advanced M5 platforms ever produced. With dramatically increased power output, advanced chassis systems, and a significant rise in vehicle mass, the latest M5 places unprecedented demands on its braking system. These cars are faster, heavier, and more capable than any previous M5—requiring braking solutions that go beyond t

The Ferrari 458 Italia, Spider, and Speciale represent the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance — a symphony of precision, response, and design. But even the finest supercars evolve, and one area where meaningful performance gains are possible is braking. The factory Ferrari 458 carbon ceramic brakes, while revolutionary at the time, use first-generation CCM (Carbon Ceramic Matrix)  technology. These rotors are light and strong, but compared to today’s third-generation

The rise of carbon ceramic brake refurbishing services  has created a lot of buzz in the high-performance community. On paper, it sounds like a great idea: send your worn carbon ceramic rotors to a company, have the friction layer re-coated, and get them back “like new.” But as with most things that sound too good to be true, the process comes with serious trade-offs — both technical and financial. At Triton Motorsports , we’ve spent years developing Gen 3 Carbon Ceramic Brak

At Triton Motorsports , we specialize in precision-engineered brake and exhaust upgrades  that take t

The Lamborghini Aventador is the pinnacle of exotic performance — a V12 masterpiece defined by outrageous power, razor-sharp aerodynamics, and unmistakable presence. Yet even perfection has room for improvement. One area where the Aventador’s factory setup shows its age is in its carbon ceramic braking system . While Lamborghini equipped the Aventador with “CCM” carbon ceramic rotors from the factory, these represent first-generation carbon composite technology  — lighter tha

When it comes to building a faster car, most enthusiasts instinctively chase more power. Bigger turbos, tunes, or supercharger kits seem like the ticket to lower lap times. But ask any experienced track driver or chassis engineer, and they’ll tell you the truth: horsepower helps in a straight line — weight savings help everywhere . At Triton Motorsports , we’ve worked with drivers, tuners, and racing teams who’ve learned firsthand that the secret to faster, more consistent la

In the performance wheel market, you’ll often see phrases like flow forged , rotary forged , or spin forged —terms designed to make a wheel sound “forged” when it really isn’t. These buzzwords blur the line between true forged wheels  and enhanced cast wheels , leaving many enthusiasts unsure about what they’re actually paying for. At Triton Motorsports , we’ve spent years engineering FEA-validated forged aluminum and magnesium wheels  for platforms ranging from the Porsche G
