my 19" clear the Brembo CCM-R.
Is the F80 CCB larger than 380 on the front?

CCB will outlast cast iron rotors by a large factor. Almost to a point that it can achieve parity with cast iron.

it makes a difference if it is CCB or CCM. The CCB like the one that comes on the the F80 has a friction layer that consume largely the brake pads. over time that friction layer can be replaced with a new Silicate Carbide friction layer and restore the rotor to as new condition.


Unfortunately my Brembo CCM-R is the type that the friction layer is the same as the rotor (Carbon Ceramic Matrix) and indeed is consumed once heated to 450* Celsius. The carbon in the friction layer is oxidized at those temps.

This winter I am sending them to be refurbished with the SiC friction layer.
