What track pads for CCM rotors

Iron conversion.

 

Pads maybe, rotors are just fine. I track my car frequently for more than a year and they show no visible wear. There is absolutely no need to convert them to iron spending $$$ unless you plan on endurance racing

 

You can't tell by the "look" of your rotors. CCM tolerance is determined by weight, and after a few track days they are out of spec. Sucks that Ferrari didn't spec the brakes on the Speciale and LaF for the track vs. the street but that is the case.

 

For the Speciale / LaF?

 

Hi Warren, could you PM me a price for replacement pads for stock CCM rotors? Thank you!

 

Interesting thread from 2015. I see that RB has a trackable sintered street pad for CCM brakes now. Sale price is $1395. Is that for all four wheels or just front (or back)?

Also, it’s not clear to me what the characteristics of the street pad are compared to he track pads. Do they cause equivalent or less wear on the CCM rotors? Or are they harder on rotors? This is important to me since CCM rotors as we know are very expensive.

Do the street pads have same or better initial cold bite as OEM? Are they more noisy? More dusty? By how much? I assume they have similar high temp characteristics such as good modulation, high fade resistance as the track version, and at least as good or better than stock? As you might guess, I’m starting to look at pad alternatives. Thanks.

When I contacted Brembo about changing my pads [to something more like race pads] they indicated that the pad compound is matched closely to the rotor compound and that changing to different pads could do real damage to the rotors. I have no first hand exerpience with this, so couldn't say much beyond that myself. Also, Brembo was very tight-lipped about the entire subject, citing privacy issues with Ferrari.

However, after speaking with them, the main takeaway I got was that you're better off changing both the rotors and pads, not just the pads only.

What setup do the factory challenge cars run?

Has anyone successfully used Corvette ZR1 (2009-2013) pads on their F458?

 

Thanks Warren. I was wondering if the corvette brake pads will work and drop right in without any issue or modification. Could you confirm?

 

@MuratC do you have an update on stock CCM rotor ware on your Speciale with the Pagid RSC pads? I'm looking at making the conversion myself, but the dealer is warning me about accelerating rotor wear.

 

Well, after almost 3 years of tracking the car my stock CCM discs (mostly rear) are almost finished. It will be a very expensive replacement, but I will have to do it very soon. After that I won't track the Speciale very much, maybe 1-2 times a year. 488 Pista will be the new track weapon

 

What about sending the rotors in to get them refinished? 1200 euros per rotor?

 

I am also considering that option. But I am not sure how they will perform afterwards. Most likely, I will buy OEM discs and get the old ones refurbished.

 

Good to hear. Would be curious where you get new discs from and how they compare in cost to the refurbished original discs. Keep us posted!

 

Approximately how many track days in total did your rotors last? Would you say you are a hard driver?

 

Hard to say. I think I did around 15-20 track days. Some of them were half day some of them full day but I can't tell how many km's I did on track. Yes, I think I can drive the car near to its limits. So most of my track days were pretty hard on brakes.

 

It also depends on the track. Those with long straights with tight turns at the end are harder on brakes than those with a lot of turns connected by short straights.

 

Anyone try Ferodo pads for track use? If so, any specific part numbers from them? Thanks in advance!
