The benefit of Carbon Ceramic rotors are a lot less weight --- longer lasting (you can go thru a bunch of pads without changing the rotor) --- and greater heat dissipation. In cold application they can actually be described as GRABBY....

It's a ROTOR...... and he has the matching calipers and pads for that part of the system. The part of the "system" that's missing --- the part that creates the hydraulic pressure.


RE: Jackass brakes/issues

Mario is NOT running ABS and racing the car (yet)..... THAT is a complex engineering issue.... but NOT Marios issue.

I'm with Dhutton...... do a pressure check at the caliper and my guess is he's simply lacking the proper pressure/volume required. Do some math -- get the right master cylinder and pedal ratio.... and see what happens.

The thing I would "worry" about now is - lacking the right pressure and driving the car -- is the system now glazed. If it was me - given the cost of these brakes I'd be parking the car while waiting to give it back to Troy to sort out.

Porsche magazine even recommends the exact same bedding process for these brakes that every other brake takes.... i.e., repeated hard stops (short version).
