To all CCB(carbon ceramic brake) owners. Anyone has same issue like this?
Heard loud noises while turning. I knew rotor is touching backing plates. but going straight wont result touching issues. Which makes me felt so confusing. From PIC#3 we can see it does have clearance. Both side when I lift on hoist even turning the wheel lock to lock wont have rubbing issue, but lower to ground with turns it will touching. Plan to running plateless, or modify the plate a little bit. BTW wheel bolt was tight! WHY they make contact? confusing...
it shouldn't rub by any means. If there's rubbing in any condition with the backplates or other component then one of the components is either not installed properly or defected.
I have the TIKT duct so the backing plates were removed. From time to time I do need to adjust the duct a bit to avoid rubbing, so my suggestion is to see if you can check and see if the plates are bend or not.
Hope the car is under warranty. Would not be too happy replacing that rotor.
Unless a manufacturing fault is shown, rotors are consumables. About $4k a piece. But while the pic of the rotor looks somewhat dramatic, the quality is too low to tell is the rotor is truly gouged or just has some surface scuffing. A close-up may help.

Yes, it'd be interesting to see a closeup pic. I'd assume that the aluminum in the backing-plates is actually softer than the brake-pad material so there will just be scuffing and likely some aluminum deposits on the rotor ... hopefully.
I assume you're talking about the TiKT-supplied hex-head bolts ... true? I applied locktite when I did mine.
Yep that's correct. But due to the heat that these rotors generate on track, even locktite can be broken down at times, just check them every 3-4 events to be sure.
