I think the option to convert it to ceramic brakes after I buy it, is out of the question.
The whole brake system is different, even the parking brake in the CCB there are separate calipers for this!...

 

Do not fear the CCB. Those that do, have not had them. Once you have them, at least for me, it saddens me to think that all future cars I own will not likely have them and braking will be a let down. If you truly enjoy driving, they are the pinnacle in my experience. Truly, if you broke a rotor, the replacement is not cheap, although more and more rebuilders exist as the platform is Brembo so the more that exist, the more of a commodity they "may" become. Noise, never heard it. Even if I did, it would be from dirt in the system, not the friction in the system. Again, do not fear the CCB, you will be thrilled if you can land the correct car for you with CCB!

 

 

I agree although I haven't tried it, I have only tested the normal brakes in a demo f-type and I can tell you that after using them hard (even for a short period), they "suck"...
Not to mention the dust and the noise... horrible!!
You buy $110,000 car and you don't want pay an other 10??? I really don't understand...
I don't fear the CCB, a car with this performance should have it as "standard"! period!
But again I pay the price by waiting too long to find it...

 

Most of the F-Types with the Carbon were from $130 (R Model) to $160K (SVR) new so the resale will be higher than the $110K vehicles as well. Watch the off lease auctions in about the middle of '19 to find them coming off lease. You should be able to get a '16 R with carbon then for around $75K I would figure. If you want a '17 you may have to wait another year.

 

the problem is mainly to find a car with CCB, not the value...

 

 

Good price if it was in a good condition!! Lucky you!

 

I have the parts list. the work is so straight forward, just like any brake job. The only not bolt on, bolt off was the front and rear dust shields are different. The are quite large because the shroud the bottom of the rotor to protect from debris. The standard shields are so small, I am not even sure how to describe them. To change the dust shields, you remove a screw and drill out two pop rivets. Jag sells the new pop rivets. You then just install new dust shield, ad screw and two pop rivets and your are done. Again, that is the only non- screw. non- bolt or non- snap fitting involved in the job.

If you ask me 100 times the biggest part of the job, bleeding the brakes. Each caliper has two bleed screws and I had me. I tried every trick in the book. It was a royal pain to get all the air out because I was a one man show. Forget asking the wife to sit in the car and pump the brakes for 30 minutes. Before we were married, 38 years ago, no problem. But once they have you, the have you. Did I mention I did this in PA in February in an unheated garage with jack stands? Do not let these boy scouts scare you off what you want.

It seems this is such a mystery conversion. I am a base level mechanic at best.

if interested, email this guy. He can usually come up with a set of discs, calipers, e calipers and the most important item, the rear mounting brackets
The rest of the parts or easily available through dealers.

very interesting!!...
So you are saying that you did it to your f-type?
Are you in the US?
what about the rear brakes? because the parking brake has different small black caliper in the CCB.

It was in exceptional shape. Needs the passenger carpet replacement. Has the known failure where it pulls down from the console a touch. Had a dealer installed bra that was of poor quality but did its job. I had a new expel completed on the entire nose and had the entire car ceramic coated. When they did the CPO they put rear tires on it and sent me a picture of the old ones before they were removed. They were not that bad but replaced.

They put it online Friday and I saw it Saturday AM. Did a face time with the salesman and bought it by lunch. They had not even done the CPO yet. Like noted very hard to find a CCB car. Love it!!

 

 

Indeed a recommended source. Has a website too, but if you need anything special, or not listed, drop him a mail.

 

Do you live in USA?

 

To whom is your question directed to Nick?

 

If you can provide me with some photos I will appreciate!
Also, it would be very helpful if you can show me the tools you used for this retrofit!

Thanks a lot!

 

Actually I am asking everyone, because I may go to USA this month to purchase the car, so I may pass by to someone who has performed this retrofit to show me the "job"

 

I'm in the US. The job doesn't require any special tools except maybe the riveter. I'll have to think and list things out when I get a chance.

 

picked up rivet tool at el cheapo harbor freight
that was the only special tool I needed.
Car is in Pa. Always welcome an inspection
