STEEL or CERAMICS Brakes on new LP580/2

[robby3]

Also I vote for my ceramics. I test drove a 580 in rain and afterwards I had to admit that its brakes were really good, as good as the ceramics. After getting out the car I saw why ... it was a 580 with the 20"Mimas wheels (standard is 19") and CCB options (standard are the "wafe" rotors from the R8). Before I bought my Spyder I went for a testdrive with another 580 that had steel brakes. No stopping problem at all but the CCB felt somehow more immediate, even in rain.

But I agree with those who track the car as you change the rotors/pads anways after each race and dust is not your major concern. I tracked the H with CBB a day in Imola and I really loved how they behaved. Unfortunately the instructors always forced us to do a cool down lap as it was a +30°C day. But I did not feel any need for that

I love the ceramics on my car, but I haven't pushed them hard or anything. I won't track it, so for street driving it's nice not to have the brake dust. A friend of mine with a 580 said that his steel brakes started fading pretty quickly on a spirited back road drive. He said they pretty much completely died on him.

I would be very surprised by this, but it's possible, I suppose. Like EVILR said, better pads on steel rotors for the track would be the way to go, I feel. The performance would be there, but when (not if, if one is tracking the car regularly) it comes times to replace brakes, you won't have to re-mortgage your house, haha.
I love my ceramics, too - the feel is FINALLY there (compared with ceramics on the Gallardo), and the lack of brake dust is fantastic. However, faced with tracking the car and thus eventually having to replace brakes.... yikes.

Yeah I'm not sure about the Lambos but I've heard it's not a good idea to track Porsches with ceramics, they don't hold up and are extremely expensive to replace. For track use I would be way too paranoid to be running ceramics, but it sounds like the stock steel brakes need some updating if you're going to be pushing your car.

If you want to save some money, go for steel brakes. IMO, supercars should have ceramic brakes.

Personally the $17,500 CCB option for the 580-2 is ridiculous and even more ridiculous when you can get the exact same brakes on various Audi models for half the price.

Ceramics squeak

Never heard any squeak on mine ! You learn to brake different with CCBs and not get any squeaks then.

+1.


I've never had any squeaking from my ceramics, whatsoever.

Both the HURACÁN LP 620-2 SUPER TROFEO and HURACÁN GT3 Race Car use 380mm steel discs, they run perfectly on the race track.
