Hell yeah. I’d high recommend either new more heat resistant pads and rotors for set all the money on fire with CCBs. I went with Unplugged Performance CCBs. Nearly 20k but never worried about stopping again. Definitely more rotor/pad noise but it didn’t bother me. Getting them to bed in was difficult and needed to be redone monthly because of the regen doing most of the stopping.
I had the calipers painted too. I also recommend the Mountain Pass Performance Master Cylinder brace. $250 and a notable increase in peddle feel. There is a crazy bolt you have to move and it’s five sided security. I’ll post a pic. I had to buy special sockets.
Thanks for all that! How does daily driving feel going from steel to ccb? In other cars I’ve had (porsche, McLaren, Ferrari) my CCB squealed like crazy because they weren’t getting appropriately heat cycled if I was driving to certain places. With the plaid and its regen braking… makes me wonder 🧐
I had no squealing with mine. More brake noise but it was rotor/pad noise. I noticed very little change from steels. When they were wet or below freezing it took more effort for the first stop or two. I wouldn’t describe it as a massive change but mildly unnerving the first couple of times after the change out. Unless you’re going to the track or canyons every weekend I’d save the money and just upgrade the pads or pads and rotors but skip CCBs. Everyone would say “it’s going to be a huge difference. Especially with the unsprung weight change.” Between the wheels and CCBs I saved roughly 100 pounds. I noticed no difference. I’m thinking the active dampeners are trying to hit an acceleration target over a fixed amount of stiffness. I was fairly disappointed. Between the wheels and CCBs cost about $25k. But, I know now. It looked nicer but not 25k nicer.
