Congrats. Good thing you didn't wait. The GT 4-door has been on MY wish list for awhile. Then I saw the 2027's....and it's no longer on the list......

Unfortunately no. I wish they were. Brake dust is atrocious and not looking forward to $8k brake jobs lol. Carbon ceramics was checked off on my build, but this is a compromise I’m willing to accept.

If not replacing brake pads could consider ceramic coating the wheels at least makes washing them easier.

Well, they are a bolt-on retrofit should you get the bug. Before I bit the bullet for the CCB’s, I installed ceramic pads from Porterfield Racing. They did not squeal at all and the dust was cut down considerably.
