Carbon ceramic brake rotor question

According to my local MB service centre, these rotors will last forever and there is no need to replace.

Is this true?

Forever is a bit of a stretch. Carbon ceramic rotors have been know to last up to about 4 times longer than steel rotors when used only on the street. Obviously if you factor in some heavy use on track days you might not get as long of a life out of them. Either way they last a heck of a lot longer than a steel rotor.

Thanks jrcart for the input, thought nothing will last forever otherwise all the manufacturers will go bankrupt.

Before I used semi-metallic pads, but it started generating more noise after two years. Thus I took my car in to an auto repair service and they suggested me this Carbon ceramic brake. I am using this for last eight months; I can feel the difference now.

Stock rotor replacement or upgrade to CCM rotors

Hi,

We offer front and rear two piece iron rotors for stock replacement, and are now able to develop aftermarket Carbon Ceramic for upgrade by using Corvette ZR1 rotors.

Would anyone be interested in this upgrade (from iron rotors) or need of replacement of their stock CCM rotors.

Thanks
