In terms of stopping distance, there is little =difference (lots of discussions on the M3 forum) unless the steel brakes are fading which, as mentioned, you can virtually eliminate with the appropriate pads.
CCB's advantage, IMO, is the ability to go street to track without doing anything, dust and a bit of weight. The downside is HUGE cost. I can't imagine $11,000 is worth not having to clean the wheels a little more frequently  |
I can agree that they are expensive to get and to maintain. And braking wise they dont offer much better performance than steel ones.
But what about weight savings? Ive read that it is only 15 pounds of rotational mass that you save. But have also read that it is 42 pounds of savings. Anybody know?
42 pounds of rotational mass would be worth considering...
