CCM rotors are designed and made for a direct swap & 100% bolt on installation, retain the use of OE 6 piston calipers.
What does a set run for the RCF?

Link here:Price is subject to change but once order is placed the price will be locked in.
Price is for 2 CCM rotors only excluding calipers.

For a complete CCM system kit (including RB calipers), please refer to this link.Current system is designed to use 380mm rotors in the front for the interchangeability with stock (re-use OE calipers).
Alternative complete RB CCB system with 396x34/392x32 CCM kit can be built if you have 20" wheels - This will be the pinnacle of the latest CCB kit (Same as Corvette Z07 and larger than Ferrari F458 on rear)

Looks like good stuff. Savings of 41Ibs over OEM on front axle alone is substantial. Somewhere on social media someone posted pics of titanium hats for his GSF. Is that feasible for this setup?

Same 394/390 Front and rear RB CCB kits are offered across Porsche from 993 to 996/997, and the latest 991

This is the kit installed on 993TT

394mm/390 CCM Brakes!

Just a "try fit" to the original wheel...

I noticed that since this thread has started, the prices on the RB website for the front CCB rotors went up $400 and the front and rear combo kit went up $700 as well.

Default Just ordered a set!

Woohoo! I was going to get the regular light weight RB rotors when I saw that the CCM rotors were now available. 41lbs is quite the weight savings plus I plan to get lighter wheels (10lbs lighter than stock per wheel) so about -60lbs unsprung/rotational weight savings and that’s just the front! I’ll probably get the CCM rear rotors later since I want them to have to same look. Anyways, I can’t wait to try these out on the track this season.

No rear rotors avail unless you buy the upgrade kit with calipers.
Right?
Only front rotors available by themselves are the oem size ones.
Correct if I’m wrong pls.

That is correct. I was all excited at first thinking they had fronts and rears that worked with OE calipers

Above understanding is correct. The rear OE replacement is limited to disc availability and suitability - Size (rotor & pad) wise is not quite adequate for CCM braking*.
This is why the system kit is priced significantly lower for RCF than other popular car makes with the same upgrade eg. GTR; BMW (M3/M4); MB C63; Porsche 911 and Tesla etc.

* CCM rotors will run hotter than conventional iron rotor due to its lower density (lighter weight with same volume) than iron.

Will it be OK to use CCM fronts and factory calipers with the full RB CCM rear kit? Or are the RB CCM kits with calipers only designed to work as a full front and rear kit?

Yes, the RB rear kit will be compatible with front OE caliper kit. Here is my suggestion in "progressive" upgrade.


Retain OE calipers:
Replacing OE calipers:
Stage 4. RB CCB rear axle kit
Stage 5. Complete RB Front and rear CCB kit

If you prefer to upgrade to complete RB CCB system at once (stage 5), we can offer a credit/refund of $1,500 for your OE 4x calipers (before or 3 month after purchase) for the first 3 orders only, we will even pay for the in bound shipping.

We expect to ship the CCM rotors in about 2 weeks, pre-orders will receive incentive*. PM or email us for details.

*With OE calipers credit and pre-order incentive the complete car kit can be yours for under $10K.
