    Any owner(s) of CCB equipped cars wish they did not have them?

    If so what reason(s)?

    For the street the only advantage is bragging rights and zero (I mean zero) brake dust.

    When I go to the track I find myself braking earlier and lighter as the rotors are $7500 per corner.

    Movit makes a $4K/rotor solution with a lifetime warranty, which will ease my mind a bit!

    You can find rotors for all 4 corners (OEM) for a 458 for $9,500 if you find a cooperative dealer. I think the list price for all 4 is a bit less than $12K.

    Having said that, $12K is a lot for rotors. However, they 1) last a long time 2) work really phenomenally (presuming you bed the pads properly) and 3) keep unsprung weight low.

    I cannot recall seeing any objective comparison about lifetime cost of steel vs. CCB's on a street Ferrari. I would imagine relatively few have fully consumed their OEM CCB rotors unless they track their cars a lot. One data point, I used one full set of rotors in a 458C over a full season, which is forever in racing terms. The number of sets of pads, I stopped counting...
