We started shipping them since 2013 some 7+ years ago, no customers had an issue on them that requires replacement. Nowadays not only the design, material, and production process are greatly improved but also the development of brake pads that helped carbon ceramic brake application more durable and enjoyable (less worries) than before.
Our experience on CCB spans from using OE C6 ZR1 chopped carbon fiber discs for Nissan GTR to Surface Transforms' long carbon fiber straight vanes to our long carbon fiber with direction vane discs. Not only they are stronger but can run cooler than OE Brembo's conventional rotors that most people know (fragile and very expensive to replace).
ST600 is our most recent release exclusively developed for CCB for street & spirited driving. No cold temperature deficiency like you might have learned in the past, good friction right out of your garage even in the cold winter, after a few stops the friction level quickly build up so you hardly will notice any change of friction but consistent and excellent performance.
If you want more weight saving, here is the link to carbon ceramic brake options - Just swap the rotor and pad to instantly convert to a full RB-CCB brake kit.
We build a better brake component and system for Corvette (C6 to C8) by design and experience - Improving the performance, durability, and look from street to tracks.

C7 Corvette Brembo CCM brake rotors need to be replaced due to pockmarking of the rotor face after 13 to 15 track days. Even though they are still above minimum weight the pockmarks decrease brake pad life from 6 track days to 1 track day, thus forcing rotor replacement. How long will your rotors last in this environment? At $1500 to $1800 per rotor replacement cost, this makes the system noncompetitive with aftermarket iron rotor brake systems even though rotor life may be comparable.

I've experienced all of the above. The Brembo CC rotors are great for the street or for competition with high replacement cost factored in, but for track days most of us have gone back to iron rotors. I'd be interested to know if these carbon-ceramics experience the same rate of surface decay.
We have developed some un-conventional brake products over the years especially on CCM brakes; rotor, pad, and entire system - Just need more people to experience themselves to believe:

Thanks for the post - very interesting info on the sintered pad's impact on the CC rotor surface. From what I've gathered, the sintered pads work well with the Brembo CC rotor but possibly not other CC brands/constructions, and the comments indicate there may be some extension of rotor life. I think you also commented that the sintered pad / CC combination could be cost-effective when compared to an iron rotor setup. Do you have any quantitative data based on a rotor lifetime test that would give an indication of pad/CC rotor life under trackday conditions?
Sorry we don't have marketing data.
RB 6 pot caliper built for ultimate tracking performance (Same pads as for C7/C8 ZR1 front.) For this 400/390 brake kit.
