Ceramic Rotors Vs Steel

A discussion on another forum about brakes got me thinking about potentially using cast iron rotors on my gsx r when it comes time to replace.

Ceramic rotors vs steel.

This composite construction offers lighter stronger and more durable disks than their steel counterparts. I will likely go with power stop pads for the front and akebono for the rears don t think akebono makes the ceramic fronts for the m6. Anyway the pad material is different for ccm versus iron rotors and the mounting position of the caliper is different too. Carbon ceramic rotors vs steel ones i know it s not viper related but my friend mike made a good technical thread regarding carbon ceramic brakes vs steel ones.

The carbon ceramic disc rotors have an operating temperature of 1750 c almost 2 and a half times that of steel and a significantly lower wear rate with a working lifespan of 300 0000 km s. Every brake pad manufacturer says that they re the best and that they re an upgrade from whatever you already have. Issue with ceramic pads on steel rotors so i want to change out the pads on my m6 gran coupe as the brake dust is simply a nightmare for someone like me who prides themselves on having a clean car. There s a right way and a wrong way to do anything and through the thick storm of relentless marketing hype that line can get a little blurred.

They were a good material choice for the absorption and dissipation of the heat that is generated when stopping. Granted these materials also cost 10 times as much so aluminum may yet have a serious future in automotive performance and heavy vehicle applications. Carbon ceramic and carbon carbon brake rotors offer all the weight savings and benefits of aluminum but can withstand higher temperatures than steel. No steel brakes rotor on giulia or pretty much any other car the rotors are cast iron.

In the real world though not every brake pad. Good information that applies to any sports car mike is a hardcore track rat and runs thunderhill a lot. Carbon ceramic brakes refer to the carbon ceramic composite material that the rotors are made of offering superior braking performance during extreme use. From what i understand cast iron will actually give better braking performance with better feel to the rider.

And it s this 3 way blitz where carbon ceramics shine over steel. And also on a supermoto that im building. Lemyth carbon ceramic rotors are a 3rd generation evolution in the lccm material development and manufacturing processes of our advanced braking technology. Steel rotors aren t as durable as some others and warped rotors can cause noise and a pulsating pedal when you brake.
