Carbon Ceramic brake life

[V8V Pete]

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.

When I was in Grange recently they had a V12 Vantage in the showroom with 60k miles on the clock. It was still on the original discs and pads. The discs looked like they had quite a shine to them compared to my 6k ones?

I covered c20K in my DBS before selling it.

Was used pretty much daily so exposed to lots of water.

Pads and discs both fine.
