Can you replace CCB rotors with steel rotors?
Just ordered ceramic brakes on 2016 build. Looking a long way down the road - when these need to be replaced - can you replace them with steel rotors/pad and keep the calipers?

rotors
OK
to stop this discussion quickly, you will be unable to physically connect pieces. Rotors and calipers are both different dimensions and offsets . Both setups are made specifically for their corresponding parts, pads ( compounds, temps, etc ) the same goes for the rotors and calipers. They may look close enough from the outside, but.....no go Sorry |

If you don't track the car you can theoretically make them last for 100k miles. If you do track the car they might last 1500 track miles lol.

I'm looking at an M6 GC with CCB. I typically keep my cars until they reach 120K miles. I don't think I could swallow the enormous cost of replacing the ceramic rotors vs steel rotors. I've heard that some of the Porsche guys swap their CCB brakes for the steel brakes regularly for track use. I'm guessing unless anyone has tried to convert CCB to steel brakes since this thread was last updated that it's still not possible to swap them?

https://www.racingbrake.com/ will turn out a replacement two piece iron rotor for the CCB for use with stock iron pads for about $3k/set. You just have to call them.
