I thought I would share a couple photos of my carbon ceramic brake conversion recently completed by the guys at Weistec on my C BS. These are the OEM carbon ceramic calipers and rotors offered as an option on the newer E63's. The calipers come in a metallic burnt orange finish but I had them refinished in Brembo red. I also upgraded to all steel lines. These rotors ae huge and about a quarter of the weight of the stock rotors. I ran the car in a half mile event last weekend and can tell you guys the brakes work great. Hoping to test them out on a road course in the next couple weeks.

Nice! What size are they? Will they clear the OEM 18's?

They look amazing, another great addition to your beast.
Will love to see some performance number, 30 to 0 , 60 to 0, 100 to 0.
Not difficult to do if you have a Vbox.
What Break fluid are you using?
Thank you

This is unbelievable!!! is this mod plug and play or you have to do some mods? I'm interested in do the same

Those things are huge and the caliper is like covering 1/4 of it! Keep up those mods!

roadtalontsi

it really is amazing how much lighter they are. until you feel it for yourself its hard to believe. sweet upgrade

They can fit a standard C63 but it takes some mods. There is a thread explaining the conversion if you search for it.

They are a MUST for track purposes!

Great job Jim! They should bolt on to the black series correct?
Enjoy and be safe!!

I believe it's almost bolt-on to the Black Series, just a custom bracket that needs to be CNC'd for the front.

Nice I hear these can add 2-3 mph on to your trap speed

Any videos from that event?

Thank Keith, not a direct bolt up on my BS, Weistec had to machine some spacers and a couple other little bits but other than that they were a pretty simple swap.

Looks good Jim.

Just curious how big are the rotors? 14", 15"? Also how much more lighter are they compared to your previous setup?

jrcart

Thanks, Fronts are 402mm/15.82" and rears are 360mm/14.17". I do not have an exact weight but by feel I would guess they are 1/3 to1/4 of the weight of the stock rotors, crazy light, so light it makes you wonder how the hell they would stand up to more than one triple digit panic stop without just disintegrating.

Jim well done! They look unbelievable!

Looks absolutely great! Can't wait to know how it perform on the track!
