Any way to fix the brake dust?

[luciddaydream]

Hi there
The brake dust on these cars is pretty nuts.
Has anyone come up with a solution to this?

Either pads or some sort of treatment I can put on the wheels?
Thanks a ton

I may want this

I cant wait to see what will come out for our cars!

From @Warren-RB on the other CCB thread.

Does the Emira come with standard Ceramic brakes?

Anyone know if the Emira comes with Ceramic brakes standard? If they want this car to compete on a track with a Porsche, you would think they would offer Ceramic brakes, so either it is standard and I can't find the answer, or it is NOT an option and will be an option in later models.

Warren, what are your thoughts on this for spirited canyon use? No intention to track at the moment. I understand my options are a CCB kit or much lower dust pads.

 

[Warren-RB]

If you are keeping your Emira for long and money is not a real concern, my recommendation is go with ccb.

WHY CARBON CERAMIC BRAKE?​

Summary statement:

• Carbon Ceramic Brake (CCB) adds a special value onto your car.
• It can withstand much higher braking temperature than the conventional iron.
• CCB provides a more direct brake feeling.
• It suffers far less from 'fading' or the reduction in braking power.
• Substantial weight saving over iron brakes (40-50%).
• Last a lot longer than iron brakes.
• Literally no brake dust.
• Improved NVH (less Noise, Vibration and Harshness).
• Improved performance (in both wet and dry conditions).
• Reduced brake wear – giving increased life.
• Corrosion free.
• Outstanding performance, even from cold.

We are a brake company offers both standard iron and ccb so our opinion and advice are impartial unlike others offer only iron brakes they always talk down or even intimate users with mis-information to stay away from ccb by using those old ccb tech when Porsche introduced for their 996 some 20 years ago or Porsche track racers usually do this instead of that....

Not only ccb is an excellent investment for street/spirited (Mountain, Canyon) benefiting from the lighter unsprung weight which can transform how your vehicle performs, but it's also proven to be the most economical and durable setup on TRACKS, over conventional iron brakes.

We must all admit nowadays most consumers are buying on "marketing" and only very few buys "technical merit", meantime think of some compelling reason for you to "believe" in ccb by asking yourself why those exotic cars are default to ccb brakes?; or even why RB listed so extensive in applications on ccb if it's not a good option as they said?

Estimated cost on CCB for Emira? $8k?

Emira would probably fall @10K (Includes ccb pads), but if we can have 10+ pre-orders it can be @C8 range.

​

Depends on when you'd be planning on making them. I'd be more likely to be interested in a pre-order if it's after the first of the year.

Do you also do installation or is that done elsewhere and does the cost include installation if performed at your shop? Thx for all of your work on this.

We hear you.

Emira brake has a very tight disc annulus available for the brake pad, as a result of fitting the existing McLaren pad to Emira disc we noticed a need for a slight modification at the pad bottom to avoid overhang (outside the disc). The rear pad dimensions were also defined - Airen may want to elaborate this.

So both front and rear pads can now be released to production.

Front Pad:
View attachment 52274
Rear Pad:
View attachment 52275
Will report the leadtime as soon as available.

+1 will be among the first ones to order

 

[Six Speed Stephen]

I think I'll start with the better pads first. They look like they have more contact and will be low dust.

Carbon ceramic rotors design is up.
Front: 380x32mm Wt: 12.85 lbs vs. OE 20.82; Save 8 lbs (38.4%)

Rear: 350x32mm Wt: 10.58 lbs vs. OE 17.26; Save 6.7 lbs (39%)

Wt comparison table including ccb.

 

[DriverMod]

Wow that was fast! @Warren-RB

I will be going back to RacingBrake today or Monday to have the rear pads dialed in

 

[Warren-RB]

Airen told me you folks are more adaptive to an alternative setup than other communities (eg. MB, Audi) where the stock replacement must be made "exactly" like OE.
So after more thoughts and tuned-in bench fitment tests (Airen can witness the setup), we decided to offer only RB+ rotor kit in which the front rotor diameter is increased to 380 (from 370), and the rear rotor thickness is reduced to 30mm (from 32) - Easier for you to choose and less components for us.

This proposed RB+ kit would be an upgrade setup to optimize your overall brake performance, more than just a replacement and to better justify your investment.

Is there a reason why you went to a 380 for the front instead of a 370?
