Ceramic Rotors

Would there be any interest in ceramic brakes where the rotors could last at least a full season and the pads through several races? These would be a direct replacement for the CCM brake rotors and pads, but much more durable. The software would just be told the car has steel brakes.

I just put Mov'It front brakes on my street 575M, and their rotors are solid carbon silicon carbide, so last a very long time. They already make replacement rotors and pads for the PCCBs, but I thought you racers might be interested, as well, in replacements for the CCMs.

Affirmative, they could be used for street cars, although the CCMs rarely wear out on street cars unless tracked. I just put Mov'Its on the front of my 575M, with rear brakes coming. Here is their web site. Like I said, they already make PCCB replacements, but I was just wondering if there was some interest in CCM replacements. Might be worth asking in the 360/430 forum, too, for those who track their CS/F430. For occasional track use, the rotors likely would never need changing, and the pads only infrequently.

Francisco- That matches what I have learned. Mine are just on a street Ferrari. I thought all those who switched from CCM to steel brakes might want to try something that would last longer and give all the unsprung weight advantages of ceramic without the CCM disavantages. Would use the same Brembo calipers.

Francisco- Not sure I got that, but the Mov'it rotors work great on street cars. I have them on mine. They are able to take temperatures at least as high as the CCMs. I think what you are asking is whether original calipers can take the temperatures the CER rotors can generate? I do not know about other applications, but the Brembo monoblock CCM calipers and Porsche PCCB calipers should be able to tolerate similar temperatures to the Mov'It calipers.
