Replaced my steel rotors with Carbon ceramics. They’re aftermarket. Still breaking them in. So far it’s good. Pedal feels tighter and the wheels are much cleaner.
I do 😊. I can have it made for any vehicle with oem calipers. They recommend using the Pagid pads RSC1 but the pads they supply are very good. I am currently testing them on my own vehicle and so gas so good. Will be switching the front pads to Pagid no 8083 of 10mm from 66mm to 76mm which is slightly bigger to have more surface covering the rotors and reducing that lighter grey line closer to the hat.
Love it. Are there any significant cost savings going this route instead of paying for factory OEM CC parts? Or is this not a cost saver but more or less just an option to replace for steal equipped cars?
1)The steel brakes were not lasting on my vehicle. I bought the vehicle brand new and at 10k km Mercedes replaced all 4 corners only pads for free then at 20k km I had them warranty the brakes again where they replaced front pads and rotors and only replaced pads on the rear because they said the rotors is still good thickness according to Mercedes’ thickness measurements which I found BS.
2)The dust that accumulating on the wheels right after washing the vehicle was extremely annoying.
3)Cost for replacement of steel rotors + pads was close enough to buying the aftermarket CCB. The rotors last longer and you only replace pads.
The CCB so far exceeded my expectations even in the rain. They warm up very quickly and make any noise when it’s raining. Only when it’s dry but I am still breaking them in. You can feel that they’re much lighter and the vehicle handles much better. Also at higher speed the braking is much more improved.
It’s better to get it from the factory as an option. But if you decide to add it from them after you optioned it out with the steel rotors it’ll be very costly
If you like I get you a quote for your vehicle. Either with pads or without pads. You can get the Pagid pads yourself. It’ll work with your oem calipers. I am planning to get the new Land Rover and will be getting a custom rotors for it once I know the size.
upgraded the Pads to Pagid front and rear. The front I put on 8083 which is for the Ferrari F430 and Enzo. They’re a little bigger which increased the bite and reduce that grey line in half.
