Has anyone seen or heard about this company? Looks like they are making a carbon ceramic rotor and caliper setup Soon. does anyone have idea on cost? The ones on the Z/28 save about 28 pounds total, that's pretty significant.

In 2009 from brembo released this statement here's a link to the complete article:

Carbon Ceramic Discs: Green performance*Compared to traditional cast iron discs, carbon ceramic discs offer significant weight reduction – up*to 50% – and therefore lower fuel consumption. This product is more environmentally friendly, with*lower CO2 emissions, a longer life span, greater corrosion resistance, avoidance of fine particle*dust and performance advantages, as well as a very high level of thermal stability (fading*resistance).*

Did you happen to catch the price of them? For that kind of $$, you could add HP mods that would make that 28lb savings nonexistent.

You're ignoring the handling and steering response benefits of lower rotating mass and only considering weight savings effect on acceleration. HP/acceleration is only one piece of it.

Yah, your right! It seems besides the weight savings, its not that great.

At $1200+/each for rotors and $1400 for a set of pads, I can deal with a little less steering response.

You might also want to go pick up a stack of 4 Camaro rotors. You'll probably think again about that much weight.

For the price of that setup, i'll pick up a IPS twin turbo setup INSTALLED, and drag a whole pallet of them around.
