[QUOTE="cdnrx1, post: 211377, member: 2880"] Under most, if not all, street driving conditions the Z07 brake rotors will reach optimal operating temperature and will demonstrate similar, possibly better, durability and longevity than their ferrous metal counterparts with very little mass degradation. However, the rotors still need to be weighed and measured at each pad change but, if cared for properly, they should last as long or longer than the Brembo cast iron rotors. The exception being lots of track time. When used under repeated, extreme conditions carbon brakes are [B][U]almost[/U][/B] considered " throw-away ". In competition they are often replaced after each race, depending on the length of the event, and several times during endurance races. Carbon rotors are also subject to chipping and cracking when removing wheels, calipers, etc. They are fragile and easily damaged, compared to cast iron, and must be treated carefully. Where the carbon brakes really shine is in their braking performance under repeated, high stress conditions. Even for spirited street driving they provide exceptional braking ability and demonstrate little to no fade even under the most extreme conditions. The downside is, of course, the cost of replacement. However, the CCM brakes that come with our Z07 package offer fantastic breaking ability and excellent durability under normal driving conditions. They should give many thousands of miles of reliable, outstanding breaking performance - just what you'd expect from this car. Just be prepared for the exorbitant cost of replacing these rotors, particularly if you are a track enthusiast. [/QUOTE]
