I did. It was right around 12k and I did the install. I went through players club. The calipers are the same for steel and CCB with the exception of the writing on the side. I opted to keep my original calipers, so did rotors and pads. Not only is the brake dust gone but the braking is so much better.
I recently got the 2026 M2 CS with Carbon Ceramics. I was amazed by having basically ZERO brake dust, man that makes cleaning the car so much easier. And BMW brown brake dust is typically even worse than the GT 55/63, with Steel Brakes.
I am going to bite the bullet here and follow @Zmangt63 's lead and upgrade my Rotors and Pads to Carbon Ceramic, also ordered from Player's Club as he did. They will arrive sometime in May.
If these cars held their value like 911's do, I would have just sold my GT 55 and bought a GT 63 with Ceramics, but that is not at all the case, I would take a huge depreciation hit to do that, I otherwise like the car, so I will just upgrade the brakes.

Honestly I think the brakes we have are fine for daily use sans the ugly as F dust... I just wish the pads were around.
Im gonna re look at some things.
