Carbon Ceramic Breaks feedback
Hi guys,
I'm in the process of modding my 13' M6 vert and I'm highly considering upgrading to the CCB as one of the mods. Does anyone on the forum have the CCB? And if so any feedback on them? Besides the obvious of better braking performance, how does it perform while running hot? Any fading? Most importantly how is the brake dust from the CCB? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I noticed you said '13 M6 "vert", do you mean "convertable"? |

My experience after a full year -
* no dust, ever! * squeaks only when car/wheels are dirty. kinda lets you know its time to wash. Immediately remedies it - for me anyway. * when wet, on occasion, there is some loss in immediate stopping only if you have not used them during your trip say over 10 miles or so. But once you tap them again (most likely when its cleaned off the water using braking pressure, etc.) they stop you on a dime. Once you know how to operate them, you lose the ole "holy shit I'm not stopping thoughts" haha * haven't tracked but these things bring you down to normal speeds very fast with no effort. That's all I got. |

That's Awesome!!! I'll never have to get brakes again! I've only put 16k miles on mine in 3 years. I'm due for service on them in 1400 miles. But when I swap to CCB they should last like 15 years!

just curious...where are you buying OEM ceramics from? I imagine they will be a small fortunue as Ive seen them online for 10-15k? Is that worth clean wheels? haha
You should also consider low dust performance pads, I had them on my previous Range Rover and break dust was cut in half if not more.

I have to second the above mentioned responses of the owners with CCB.
I've had my M6GC with CCB since Oct of last year. Put 6k miles on it since then. I came from the M4 with regular brakes. 1. Compared to regular brakes (my M4) the CCB have no dust (M6). I was really getting annoyed at how much brake dust there was. You had to incessantly wash the wheels if you cared for them to look good. 2. Brake fade? What is that, lol? 3. Squeaking noise is sometimes more prevalent than I like and mostly at lower speeds. Kind of embarrassing actually. 4. There was only one time I had a problem braking after I drove through a puddle after a rain storm. The pedal feel returned immediately and it was a one transient, yet unsettling feeling.

Fading is when your brakes are hot and don't have the same stopping power and when you brake you feel as if though it's fading because it takes longer to stop. You almost feel like your brakes are soft and have lost braking power.
I'm OCD when it comes to having wheels clean. I can't stand seeing them dirty. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy. I find myself cleaning my wheels 2-3x in between details. And I get my car detailed every 2 weeks during the spring/summer.

I have CCB on my M6 GC.
Great great performance. Super sharp but you can dose breaking power easily once you get used to them. No dust, no corrosion. They look good But they squeak..... which is sometimes annoying especially when driving around town. |

I have CCB's on my M5. They're great. No brake dust and the gold calipers are a nice touch. They squeal like a pig, which is a bit annoying. The performance is awesome once you get the brakes warmed up. Never had any brake fade issues.

I have a M6 with CCB and hit a kid on a bike. Completely his fault. Came into street from between cars not looking, etc. I saw him out of the corner of my eye and hit the brakes hard and fast. Came to a stop before we made contact.
He hit and came up on my hood. Shockingly only a minor and fixable dent to my hood and a little dent to the facia. Cost me $100 to fix. I have a few other cars with non CCB brembos and I have always maintained that the CCB is what prevented this incident from being much worse on every front. Once I discovered that power washing the brakes once in a while is all that's necessary to prevent the horrendous and embarrassing squeaks I love them even more |

So far power washing the brakes with a little stainless steel cleaner from Target does the job. It also helps to clean the inside of the wheels too. Those 295's collect a lot of dirt.
The squeaking was driving me crazy. Getting rid of the squeak makes me feel like the car is new again. There is nothing better than CCB that don't squeak. They look spectacular, never warp (at least very easily), don't generate much dust at all, etc. |

Yes I'm cleaning my wheels in its entirety constantly including the inside. I have all the special brushes and all. And when I have it detailed I request for my wheels to be removed and cleaned.
Thanks for the CCB feedback. I think I'm gonna go for it.
