I didn’t order the CC brakes as I prefer steel for strictly street use. The benefit of CC is for track use as they don’t fade like steel when hot. For normal driving, I think steel has stronger stopping power especially compared to my 458 that requires “bedding” the brakes routinely to improve performance.
However, like many of us have stated, to each his own and we should all be happy we each can get what we want!

For track use I would use steel, and this is what most racers do. CC last 2-3X longer than steel, but that's still not very long for track use. And any chips from flying rocks or debris and you're rotors are toast.

I was just informed that the order I placed in October will not be filled. The dealer which is an AMG performance center, will not be getting an allocation until the 2021 model year. I’m bummed.
