ACR newest CCB prices from Mopar

[mjorgensen]

Mopar has actually lowered the pricing again on the front rotors which started out at $4100 each then to $3100 each and now the newest pricing is $2525 each, getting cheaper everyday, but quantities are limited.

Rear rotors were same as the fronts, they are now $3075 each.

Front pads have actually gone up though from the old price of $849 to the new price of $872
Rears pads were $630 now $647.

For those interested in an alternative pad option call me and I will discuss options that have been presented to me. If you are one of my customers that have contacted me about rapid rotor wear you are seeing also contact me about an option I can offer 1 or possibly 2 of you.

I realize this depends on use, but how long are rotors lasting for a heavily tracked car?

I have yet to see a rotor that is under weight, but depending on conditions they do get a much rougher surface before the weight and it will start using pads at a much faster rate so swapping to new rotors may be more cost effective for some.

Mark are the alternative pad options more track oriented ? As I felt the OEM pads aren't that superior and maybe its the CCB pedal feel. I contacted Pagid and they have track pads for CCB for other car marques but still seeing if they have the pad shape for the ACR.

I have Pagid race pads in stock if you want them.

I'll shoot you an email in a couple of days as I would like to get a couple of other parts as well, thanks Mark.

Great you are very welcome.

any idea on what switching to a steel set up would cost? Just wondering if it makes more sense to buy some extra pads in advance or just switch to steel if I end up going to the track more often than not.

[Snorman]

You can't switch to iron rotors using factory parts unless you want to spend a ton of money on knuckles. And then you'd be seriously taking a big step back to smaller rotors, smaller calipers and a less effective braking system. There are also differences in the ABS programming.
Right now, I believe the only direct swap from CCB rotors and pads is the Girodisc setup.

I believe that the effective life of the CCB rotors is far less than people think when used on-track. And CCB pads don't last very long under heavy use. I can go through a set of front pads in a weekend, and I'm far from alone.
Suggest that those who are going to lightly track the car and use it on the street stick with the factory stuff.

I have put on a set of Racing Brake iron rotors which were a 1:1 swap with the CCB's (no knuckle conversion issues). I have only used them one weekend at Road Atlanta so far, but they performed flawlessly--with no bias issues or fade. And I now have the progressive brake feel that I missed so much with the CCB's. The surface of my CCB rotors had deteriorated so badly that I was eating up a set of pads in a DAY at Road Atlanta. After a full weekend at Road Atlanta (6.5 hrs of track time with Chin) my pads on the RB iron rotors showed minimal wear.

Ted, Glad to hear your still out there with the ACR. I sold my blue one but have a new one on order. Can't wait. Definitly a GREAT track car

i'm running this kit from racingbrakes. it's the ACR front caliper with iron 390mm rotors and 355 rear rotors so same size as stock ACR. i know they sell a iron conversion where you keep your caliper and just upgrade the pads and rotors.

Last I knew they did not have rear rotors.

EDIT: Nevermind...I see on their website that they new have a F/R setup. Previously they only offered the fronts. Great news. So there are two options to convert from CCB to iron!

Sorry about this Mark.

Mark, is this why there is a recommendation to change the pads at 50% wear to avoid rotor deterioration?

[Leadfoot]

Thanks Allan!! Good news on the new ACR. I haven't seen you in quite awhile! Hope all is well!!

Not that I'm aware, seems that weight is what is important with the CCB's. The deterioration of the carbon is heat related so depends on how you are using the brakes and the track conditions you have most often. Most will never have issue, but the most aggressive drivers could.
