They offer the highest heat capacity 85 percent higher than cast iron and superior dissipation and they maintain a more consistent force and pressure as the temperature of the rotors rises.
Ceramic brake rotors weight.
By installing carbon ceramic brakes a car s weight can be reduced increasing potential speed as well as fuel efficiency.
Ceramic is the highest performance brake rotor available today.
Carbon ceramic brake rotors weigh roughly half of a traditional rotor and more or less kick ass when it comes to motorsport due to their heat resistance and better friction properties.
Due to this ceramic rotors have a much higher energy capacity and are a lot more durable under hard use.
A lot less fading ceramic brake discs are heat resistant up to 1400 c where steel rotors can only be used up to ca.
In extreme driving conditions such as f1 where these brakes are commonly used shaving off weight can make a huge difference to a car s overall performance.
Odds are it s packing ceramic brake rotors.
The 390 mm carbon ceramic discs at the front are coupled to 6 piston calipers with a 143 cm2 pad while the 360 mm carbon ceramic discs on the rear are coupled to 4 piston calipers with a 77 cm2 pad.
