how much are those carbon ceramic brakes going to be? those look ****ing sick

flipside909

From what we heard it will be in the several thousand range. I think if I heard correctly upwards of $10k.

GS350

You're joking?

Thats not surprising... cermanic brakes easily cost that much... I am surprised it is not more...

Carbon Ceramics for Porsche (PCCB) - price: $14,500:




I know for a fact that the carbon-ceramics that come on the Ferrari Enzo's (made by Brembo, seen above) cost upwards of $30,000. Carbon-ceramic braking systems are most definitely not everyday brakes, so don't expect them to carry everyday brake prices. The Lexus reps at SEMA mentioned that the F-Sport Carbon Ceramics are more intended for IS-F owners...

can anyone guess how good the carbon ceramic brakes will be vs. the stock is-f brembo brakes?...I mean would it change the car's performance dramatically?

Obviously they're lighter but I thought I read somewhere that they don't actually bite harder, they just don't fade.

Does anyone here have experience with cc brakes?

GS350

Wow, I didn't know the ceramic brakes were truly that expensive.

The main advantage of the carbon-ceramic rotors is the weight savings over traditional iron rotors. In the IS-F's case, it represents a total weight savings of 50 lbs. over the stock Brembo setup.

another big advantage is being able to brake later in turns.... thus better lap times

cool...thanks for the info!...are the brake pads different for carbon-ceramic rotors or are they the same like other bbk? just wondering....

This is not true, since that would require better performance from the tires, not the brakes.

I need to know what fits on the 3GS lol

dont CC rotors get consumed at a faster rate than metal rotors do? not real good when they are expensive to replace. CC brakes can provide braking power even when cold, i think metal brakes have to have some warmth before providing max braking power

I would think so, since the IS350 and GS350 share the same disc/brake setup.
