    The 394mm ccm will probably weigh 12.5 lbs.

    The 332/32mm Brembo iron rotors weigh 14lbs and the performance is about somewhere half way between standard and 355 Challenge. 355/32mm should put you 3/4 of the way.

    ZR1 calipers looks to be a 6-pot caliper, which is going to weigh a few lbs more than the 4-pot.

    That link is definitely mistaken with the 380mm claim.
    Those wheels are 18" I can read it off the tire.

    F50 brakes with 380mm rotors...highly doubt that would fit in an 18?

    They didn't use the Corvette calipers, they had their own.

    F80 M3 Ceramic Brakes are 400mm in the front and they run 19" wheels. FWIW

    This is confirmed they did this on an F355?

    I'm not overly worried about weight. A reduction would be nice...but I'm not doing any tracking. Just want to build some sort of ultimate F355.

    Big CCB's tucked behind the PG3s even would look great.

    Not sure I trust a RB caliper (nevermind the looks) with a brembo ccm rotor. Was there much feedback on their setup?

    There was some other company I found not too long ago that would let you spec a CCB kit for an F355 on their website. Can't remember the name of them though started with a T I think. I'll try to dig it up.

    It is confirmed they had designed it for someone. That person dropped their budget so they built him an iron system.

    Looking back at the info they gave me, it was closer to 15k and 19" wheels required.

    I started the conversation with them after seeing they offered this for the 993 years ago.

    For 993 they also show a 350mm front/rear setup. Would think they could adapt that to the F355 since they already have all dimensions.

    Yes probably. I don't like the racing brake logo myself. If I did it I would ask if I could just get them in plain red and would put Ferrari on them myself.

    The RB logo is just a sticker. Easy to change out. The bolt look on the caliper wouldn’t be the look for me if that’s the caliper they paired with. 19 inch wheel requirement isn’t for me either.

    Brembo didn’t mention anything about wheel size, but probably safe to assume if 380mm carbon rotor, 19 inch is needed.

    New info regarding $2500 setup fee.

    “No, we would request approval from the engineer before charging, to determine if its even feasible. If so, and you confirmed to proceed the 2500 would be a fee on top of the systems cost.”


    *$2500 later waived if 5 full sets ordered.

    Yep. I'd love to hear reviews, easy to Google, I bet they are dynamite. Or I wish they are.:)

    How old are the reviews are also important, the newer the more relevant.

    Will add to more if people are using F50 fronts as rear calipers.

    The site can be finicky on updating price I found. It was somewhere in the $20s with ceramic rotors.

    Is there anything special about calipers when using them with ceramic rotors? Maybe the ceramic route here is getting custom hats made for an existing rotor and then use a caliper we know will fit and work with the discs we go with.

    I'd like to stuff the largest brakes I can behind an 18" wheel. Challenge Speedlines will likely be the only other 18" wheel I'll consider anyway...what's the largest known setup that's worked?

    It was a German company, I also don't remember the name. Their kit compromised of CCB discs and pads to be used on the original caliper.
