Carbon Ceramic Brakes Anyone?

I have a new iron front rotor (5BW).
Lay something across the inside face of the rotor like the aluminum bar in my picture. Measure down to the mounting face of the rotor, as shown in my 37.99mm measurements. Measure the width of the bar you laid across the face. Subtract the bar width from the depth measurement to get the front hat height. The same measurement will be needed on a rear rotor to get the rear hat height.

Then the rotor width, width of the outside face of the ring, width of the inside face of the ring and the width of the friction surface being used inside and out. I haven't found pictures of the last two measurements.

someone in a z06 group went the chinese route for replacement CCB rotors and it was fine for street use, but was not fine for track use. he wouldn't say which chinese manufacturer he bought from. hopefully yours is not the same. the factory front calipers and pad size/shape are the same as the z06 btw.

We don't know if he was using the appropriate pads. Just as we have different pads for street or track with iron rotors, there are different pads for CCB. If you don't specifically ask for Track Pads they are going to send you street pads. There's a guy on here that said the same thing with about Chinese CCB for his 5BW. Great on the street, but a bit lacking on the track. He was using street pads. I'm eager to hear what he reports after he trys again with track pads.
