ACR CCB's on non ACR Gen V

[LmeaViper]

it does look good too.

I'm just bummed you didn't call me to help....I mean drink your beer. Looking good Timmy.

Well Mikey, that was just the test fit. I'll invite you for some final assembly and beer

This should be a Houston club event, like your last garage tour. I can bring some beer, after-all I haven't seen the ACR yet

Car is looking great Tim. I have heard that we have massive weight savings, but haven't seen any numbers. Have you thrown these on the bathroom scales?

Allan,

I'll let you know once I get everything in!

Andreas, I have be yet but will. The wheels negate some of the savings. The shocks made a huge difference and will weigh those too.

Guys like us that really hammer the brakes will need to replace the front rotors at some point. They pit over time which accelerates pad wear. Not sure when that day will come, as they're still going strong after nearly a year of tracking.

There are companies doing resurface work for pits on CCB rotors now. ~150$-200$ a rotor to have it done but as long as the pits are not too deep you can still reuses them and surface then at least two times.

Yes I've heard about this but don't want to be the guinea pig. I'd hate to have a rotor come apart at the end of a straight at 140+mph. And does it change the coefficient of friction, or any other aspect? I'll wait for someone else to prove it out before taking that gamble.

Some of the GT3 Porsche guys and the Turbo guys on 6Speed have done it and have been tracking on the resurfaced rotors. Might ping them and see how theirs are holding up. I love CCB's but the replacement costs are just to high for me to stomach for use and toss.

Well, My first set of Knuckles for the rear I hoped would work did not. Hopefully I can source them soon. I would really like to get these mounted sooner than later.

How do the factory CCB compare to these?

Sorry if link doesn't work, did this from my phone.

[1of1TA1.0]

They appear to be the same size which would also require a new rear knuckle I would think to retain the emergency brake. The larger rotor will not clear the hand brake caliper or stock caliper. I see that it has different rear calipers too so they may clear on the stock knuckle.

Pricing is wayyyy more that stock stuff though.

Any update on this?

[1of1TA1.0]

Nope, haven't had time to try and chase down knuckles. Hope to get back on it next week.

[Arizona Vipers]

I'm dying to see if this works or not as far as the ABS goes!!

[bluesrt]

If you bought them from jon b. He should take em back if they do you no good

[1of1TA1.0]

He most certainly did and didn't even charge me because he wasn't 100% if they were correct or not.

These will work with the ABS for sure. Now it won't work as well as the programming for the ACR as it's more aggressive. I will be checking more into this however.

Well, finally making progress. I have sourced the rear two knuckles (New) They should be here late this week or early next week. I am extremely excited to get this project started and hopefully completed. I am posting the Illustrated Parts Breakdown for all those that have asked me for part numbers. The front caliper shows to be a four pot but the part number does pull up the correct caliper. Also, I have discovered that the order code for the Carbon Ceramics is BRM if anyone wants to know.

I'll post more when I make some progress.

Good luck

[1of1TA1.0]

I feel it will be very straight forward but we shall see.

Good luck

Wouldn't it be much easier and more cost effective to make CCM rotors fit stock G5 spindle than attempting to change to ACR-E spindle and fit its CCM rotors?

Please correct me if I mis-understood the purpose of this conversion project.

When asked why no ccb option on the earlier units the engineers answered "because they would explode"

The SRT's, GTS's and GT's should have had the option to have CCBs in my opinion. Really interested in this build. Would be awesome!

[1of1TA1.0]

As stated before, I wanted to have everything as an OEM part. I like the largest size carbon ceramic rotor as possible. So, to do that on the rear, I need to have the larger spindle. I wanted to keep the emergency brake with the larger rotor too. Is this about ultimate stoping power, simple answer no. It is the fact I want the CCBs on my 15 to match my 16. If I need to swap parts for a track event I can, if I want to stock extra spares, they fit both

More a matter of choice and I am still into this kit for a very reasonable amount. Reasonable being in the beholder shelling out the green. It's the same reason I built an ACR-X from a regular ACR and used all OEM (DMS South) parts on the car. I kept a running spreadsheet of bought and sold items and it was still cheaper than getting an X with depreciation.

Anyway, to each their own I guess. Thanks for the offer however.
