That is super interesting, especially CCB to iron conversion - could you please try to find out if it's going to be basically both at once, i.e. they release both 380mm for iron to iron, and 400mm one for CCB to iron plug and play discs?

The initial focus is on the iron set-up. Timing is tbd regarding the CCB conversion.

Hi guys, I’m making this topic alive to understand after tracking your car with CCB over more than a year any feedback to provide. Used my car with CCB in a few tracks days (4 up to now since 1 year and half) and looking to add cooling brake kit (speed engineering) but wanted to know if I should look into some Endless pads at same time or just forget the CCB and look into iron replacement.

I wanted opinion from people that are using their CCB on track regularly, you keep them or decided to change them ?

If you aren't using track pads on your CCB's you're not going to see the full amount of performance.

I don't suggest running CCBs on the track.

The consumable costs are ridiculous and you can potentially cook your rotors faster than iron rotors. That's usually the case.

Rare track day where you're not pushing 100%? It's not a big deal and they have great performance.

If you track regularly though, you should 100% be using iron.

CCB’s are awesome on the track. Get a track pad in there and they will be amazing. Similar to Porsche’s, you can run them a lot before having to replace.

It's the rotors not the pads that are the issue.

You have to be careful about managing temperature, prolonged running over 600c can damage the discs. The GiroDisc conversion might be the way to go. Swap in for track days, swap back to CCB after.
