Default Carbon Ceramic Rotor for RCF

Would any RCF/GSFowners be interested in this direct swap, instant, and highly affordable CCM rotor upgrade that can save you more than 40 lbs unsprung weight per axle but w/o breaking your bank.
CCM rotors are designed and made for a direct swap & 100% bolt on installation, retain the use of OE 6 piston calipers.

Depends on the cost....but, yes, always interested in affordable, quality parts that will reduce unsprung/static weight.

You got my attention! I have the RB 2-piece rotors from Mike. I wouldn't mind upgrading again

Yes, it will also fit GSF.
Rotors are designed for a 100% interchangeability with OE iron rotors, swap is easy and quick, owing to it's astonishing light weight comparing to OE 1pc iron (11 vs. 32 lbs).
Retain as OE configuration - Save money, low maintenance cost while enjoying the latest braking technology w/o worrying on expensive disc/pad replacement like Ferrari/Porsche owners.

Absolutely, due to its extremely low un-sprung weight it can substantially improve the driving comfort, save wear and tear on the suspension components on a daily basis, not only they are quiet better yet you can say good bye to the brake dust which is usually associated with the brake pads made for "spirited/motorsport" type driving, and the rotor shall last almost forever.

Are these just the front rotors or rears, too? Would like both...and still retain OE calipers.

Brand new ZR1 disc are only $1249 each. The hats can't cost that much to build to fit our cars.

These are a nice setup and upgrade for unsprung and rotating mass! Probably very noticeable when driving. I'm hoping that with carbon fiber being more common year after year that the prices of these come down in a few years. So from what I can tell they are ZR1 rotors with an aluminum hat to fit the RCF/GSF?

No rear CCM to fit OE calipers.
