Some time ago, Girodisc was offering a conversion kit for us with CCBs in our W212s. Just went on their website and I no longer see them. Maybe you could reach out to them and see what's up. Other than that... I did search for "405mm brake rotor rings" and there are several being offered...not to say t hat ALL 405mm will be compatible with our rotor hats.

When I did mine it was super easy. I got rotors the same diameter as the ceramic from Brembo (400mm????). They slid in - they worked...sold the car (S63). I can not at all speak to the performance of them as brakes was a killing factor when it had Ceramics on it (no one wanted to buy it). Put on steel and new pads, gone in a week.
In a quick search Brembos site is down, they are 402 and I did find this - https://xlr8performance.com/girodisc...2V37yNuePsN13f

I feel it’s over kill for me and I’m not tracking the car, just purchased it used and needs a few things and preparing to see what I’ll do with the brakes not in the position to spend ccb rotor prices

Why not just drive it as is.
When the CCB brakes are worn- which is a very longtime then worry about switching over.
I have read that CCB brake can last well past 75k miles and longer if you do not track...
Read up about performance and life before deciding today based on prices of changing.
no sense doing it now...??

I'd find someone on here that wants carbon and swap them the brackets calipers and rotors, plus they give you lotsa cash. Could be a win win.
Otherwise get the Giro Disc rotors, keep your calipers, and, put your rotors for sale for $8-10k someone will 100% buy them.
Here is a whole used set with Calipers https://www.ebay.com/itm/25662787671...mis&media=COPY

@I.T. Guy Some time ago I would have jumped at an option to swap....I am positive others would be. For me, the limited time I had the S63 with Ceramic, it was a thing (friends car) who had chips in the rotors from "shade tree mechanics" tearing them up. The guy who ended up buying that car did not care in the least the ceramics were gone.
Over the years, I have seen many a car on the used market take massive hits in value over damaged ceramic rotors.
