Default CCB brake question

Can you run “normal” brake pads with CCB rotors or do you need to use pads made for CCB’s?

TIA

CCB requires a pad compound designed for it.

The front pads are made by Pagid for Brembo. The Pagid brake pads are supposedly made for CCM rotors. The Pagid track pads are shown as being specifically made for CCM rotors.

Thanks guys.
Was @ WGI and started to get brake fade in 3rd session of day 1. To my surprise, the left front pads had worn down past the point I normally replace them and I concluded that was cooking the fluid. Lazily, I did not check them beforehand as I had only 5 days on them. In the past, the stock CCB pads lasted at least 7 days with perhaps a day/day and a half still possible. A buddy had some Carbotech XP-10s he was willing to part with but with neither sure they would work with the CCB rotors and no vendors open for Labor Day, I started the post.
Got lucky in the end when 89xMotorsports had a spare set. Lesson learned. Rotate pads every 2 days for more even wear and bring the back up set regardless.

Thanks again.

Just make sure they have the higher copper content as the OEM pads.
