Default Option on Z06

Hello everybody,
I saw a few Z06 without Z07 pack, but they have ceramic carbons brakes, as this one : https://www.capitalchevroletnc.com/v...yn2d66h5603993 (does anyone know it?)

So is it an option that you could order outside of the pack?
Can you change the ceramic carbons rotors by normal ones?

Thanks for your help

Yes you can order CC brakes on a NON Z07 car.

It's clear. Thanks a lot.
And can I replace them by normal brakes?

Why would you if you have them?

I am not sure, regarding their costs and my possible future use, that I really need such brakes. I am wondering.

Depending on how and where you drive the car plus mileage... you may never wear them out during your ownership.
So there would be no future cost..

Plus, the lack of brake dust is worth the cost alone.. lol!

Yes, they can be changed, but it's not very cost effective if you do. I had 1 dealer quote the job at $15,000.

If you aren't going to to take the car to a road course very often if at all then there is no need to spend the money changing the brakes and at the same time devaluing the car.

Even if you do take the car to the track and decide to change to aftermarket less costly to service brakes you would keep the original brakes and reinstall when you sell the car.

That's ridiculous. You can get Giro rotors and new pads for far far less.

OP, the CC rotors will last the life of the car under normal use and another bonus is that they don't produce any brake dust. Swapping them out will also de-value the car for resale purposes. Don't even think about doing it!

No reason to swap them out unless you are a hardcore dedicated track rat. For track use, it would be worth considering Giro brakes (more durable and cheaper to maintain) --- otherwise, go with the CCB's the car has on it and enjoy dust free operation for as long as you own the car.

BTW, I really do like those wheels!
