Paragon Brakes | Race-Proven Braking Systems & Thermal Management
Elite-level deceleration engineered for the modern track day enthusiast. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for Paragon Brakes. Precisely manufactured with over 26 years of machining expertise, Paragon components are designed to survive the extreme temperatures of professional Time Attack and circuit racing. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their range of billet calipers, floating rotors, and titanium heat management hardware.
The Paragon Thermal Advantage & Compound Science
Paragon Brakes has established itself as a leader in thermal management. Their 2-piece floating rotors utilise a high-carbon CM-250 alloy and a 72-vane directional design, allowing them to run up to 30% cooler than factory one-piece units. For those pushing the limits, their Titanium Brake Pad Shims provide a critical thermal barrier, protecting your caliper pistons and brake fluid from boiling during extended sessions. Every Paragon kit is developed to work seamlessly with the factory ABS and master cylinder, ensuring a firm, predictable pedal feel lap after lap.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the flagship Paragon Brakes range: • 2-Piece Floating Rotors: Direct-fit upgrades featuring hard-anodised hats and T-Bobbin hardware for the Civic Type R (FL5/FK8), Subaru WRX (VB/VA), and Volkswagen Golf R (MK7/MK8). • Track Performance BBK: Elite 6-piston forged aluminium calipers with stainless steel pistons and internal dust seals. The definitive upgrade for the BMW M3 (G80/F80) and Toyota GR Yaris (GXPA16). • P & R Series Compounds: From the street-friendly P2 Sport Comfort to the aggressive R7 Maximum Friction track compound, manufactured by Winmax Japan for superior modulation. • Thermal Accessories: Grade 5 titanium pad shims and temperature indicator strips, essential for monitoring and managing heat in high-performance braking systems.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to assist you in selecting the correct rotor diameter and pad compound for your vehicle's weight and tyre choice. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic Paragon hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
Paragon Brakes FAQ
Why should I choose 2-piece rotors over 1-piece?
Paragon 2-piece rotors offer two major benefits: weight savings and heat management. The aluminium hat significantly reduces unsprung weight, while the floating design allows the iron ring to expand and contract freely during heat cycles, preventing the warping and "judder" commonly associated with factory 1-piece rotors.
Are Paragon calipers better than OEM Brembo units?
While OEM calipers are excellent, Paragon's PA-series calipers are CNC-machined from forged billet aluminium for superior rigidity. They also feature stainless steel pistons which act as a much better thermal barrier than factory aluminium pistons, helping to prevent brake fluid fade on the track.
How quickly can you source Paragon products?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Most Paragon 2-piece rotors and Titanium Shims for popular Australian performance platforms are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery nationwide.
