Carbon Ceramic brake life
Discussion
OK, so further to Bamford Mike's post yesterday re CCM brakes
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Can owners of relevant Aston Martins let us know their experience of CCM brake disc and pad wear/life before my future plan of V12V ownership comes crashing down. Also what is the best price people have achieved for replacement discs/pads. There must be someone out there that drives their car enough to have had to replace them if Mike's estimates of disc life are accurate. Before I get all the advice that running a V12 will be more expensive than my V8, I do realise that but some of the prices quoted for CCM discs are rather eye watering.

I looked at 2 x Gen 2 Vanquishes at the weekend, on one the discs felt super smooth, almost glass like. The other they were very coarse.
Please do not go anywhere near a car with CCM discs that feel "very coarse". They are finished and the replacement bill is astronomical and don't let any salesman tell you otherwise.Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
