Look, take a deep breath...
If you put a lot of miles on the car, I'd bet they are mostly highway miles. Nobody puts a lot of miles on a car 1 block at a time..
The brakes (CCB's) will probably last the lifetime of the car is you put on highway miles.
They last 10 trackday weekends, which are like dog years...
And lastly, if you are so stretched that you are worring about brakes, (yes even expensive brakes), you should probably rethink the Z06 Z07 car... Heck, the tire costs are gonna kill you...lol

You can replace the pads, but they’re $500 per axle. You have to use specific pads for the carbon ceramic matrix rotors.
But the rotors and pads will last you a LIFETIME if you don’t track it. 100,000 miles easy. So why worry about the replacement cost? Do you worry about the cost of replacing the engine if it fails in say, 500,000 miles? Because that’s going to be an expensive cost too.

On my 17, ZO6 with the CCB. I have around 18K miles, and they rotors look like new. The only thing I do NOT like is how touchy they are. They are like power brakes on steriods. Vey senstive. It takes very little pedal pressure, and if not careful they will put you into the windshield. It takes some practice to get use to them!

Same here. I just could not get my head around the cost/benefit ratio for a street car.
