Unsprung weight is almost unnoticeable on these vessels.
Horsepower has little (actually nothing) to do with stopping power. The amount of force required to stop a 4300lb car from 200kph to 0 is the same no matter what the engine puts out.
Anyway there's plenty of threads on Bimmerpost on CCB's vs steels, and lots of industry info as well (not manufacturer info) so I won't go down that path. I'd highly suggest anyone looking to get CCB's understand what they're getting into. There is a lot of misleading information on their performance and longevity.
Definitely couldn't pay me to put them on my car.

you really can't expect much in the way of reading comprehension when a person talks about their vehicle " breaks" instead of their vehicle brakes.
