Default Carbotech

Just called them this AM

Apparently they only make pads, not rotors.

Any companies out there that make both?

Specifically CCBs

I would wait for the Z06 to come out which likely will have the option - buy replacement brembo parts. RacingBrakes or others may develop a system as well.

Gotcha

Looks like a waiting game at this point.

I was just surprised to hear Carbotech doesn’t make rotors.


kinda like an incomplete job

Why do you want CCB?

You can largely eliminate dust with pad choice.

If it's track use, most people swap out the CCB for heavy track use.

I can think of a lot of ways to better spend $10K on the car

You are absolutely right about reduced dust and steels for the track.

But I’m also looking to reduce unsprung weight.

Im not against steel for everyday use including track days.


Maybe I’ll invest in some monoblocs and Cup2s instead.

Lots of people compete within rules that don't allow swapping out non-stock brake rotors and Carbotec is probably oriented primarily at them. I used them for years and found that they worked well for me, but you had to tolerate a lot of dust.
