Anyone have their daily car with Carbon Ceramic brakes? Brembo in particular. Any thoughts? They're wicked expensive to replace, but are suppose to last almost 100K miles of regular driving. Is that really the case? Saw a car that had them, but made me a little gun shy knowing I could have a huge replacement cost if they went. Do you think on cars that have them and they are replaced; do you get most of that back in added resale value vs selling with worn out brakes or converting to steel rotors/pads?

Regular brakes can last 100k miles of normal driving, so I'm not sure what the benefit would be for a daily driver? I thought they were intended for track situations due to light weight and heat management - but not longevity.

cant believe anybody would have the skills or room to need ceramic brakes on the street

CCB supposed to last well beyond 100K miles. However, I've read about someone needing new rotors b/c a gravel got stuck b/t rotors & pad causing damage. Replacement cost is $$$$$.
There isn't a good reason for them in DD.

and you better not get oil on them ever. With iron rotors, just shoot em with brake cleaner- CCB you're in for a pricey day at the market.

I often wondered about this.

Not much life if you track them hard as the BMW folks are finding out. Rotors are good for 2 pad sets under normal use. They are going through pads and rotors in about 4-5 track weekends. There is a reason track junkies remove them. There is some resale in them but not the full amount. When you burn through them your looking at a 10k-15k depending on the make.

Porsche even recommend NOT have their CC's if you are a regular of track days and only recommend them for road use......

The car I was looking at has CCB's ('13 Aston DB9) as standard. The Rapide does not have CCB's as standard. I would think CCB's should always be an option (except for like Ferrari...) , but not always. Jaguar has them nearly standard on F Type SVR (an option, but every one on the dealer's lot has it).

Replacement rotor cost for PCCBs on most Porsches is $8000...per PAIR.
