CERAMIC BRAKES

[ArBldr]

Hi Team! @mods please move this to the standard tahoe general discussion. I realize I posted in EV.

Has anyone put Corvette Ceramic Rotors and Brakes on their Tahoe? All of my cars have ceramic brake systems and I have become fond of not cleaning my wheels.

Ok, I discovered that the big brake kit offers 410mm front rotors. The ZR1 Rotors are 394mm buy they are 5 bolt. Seeking 6 bolt 410mm ceramic rotors.

ceramic rotors? you must mean pads..... ceramic rotors sounds like a really bad idea

No, I mean rotors. Why do they sound like a bad idea? They are 100% perfect on every other car I own.

I just use powerstop towing brake kits. Best value for the stopping power. drilled slotted rotors look nice as well.

just never heard of "carbon ceramic" rotors until just now. I have used carbon fiber pads which are noisy and very dirty,
I see these carbon ceramic rotors are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, I have my doubts given how i drive. lol

They are lightweight performance rotors designed for high heat driving situations. Mainly for sports cars but have the added benefit of low brake dust.

after a little reading it appears I am correct they can wear out pretty quickly if subjected to heat & abuse, that's a very expensive wear item in my book

Only when racing. Regular driving they will outlast the vehicle.
