SUPER lightweight Carbon fiber rotors, interested?
STOP POSTING CF its Carbon Ceramic not fiber here people!!
You cannot make a small, super light, long lasting tiny rotor out of anything but Ceramics, normal metal tiny *** discs will get raped by rough braking exercises where as the Ceramics do an amazing job managing heat and resisting wear.

carbon ceramic equal to that of porsche should have intervals well above 100k miles before anything needs replaced.
if you take your car to the track often that could shift downward to 50k miles for pads only. The rotors should out last your car
I have a buddy that's a certified porsche mechanic, i will check with him on any wear he has seen.

My guess for the company making the rotors is Across USA? They make they carbon clutches and carbon brake rotors for all the high end production cars and race cars.
I purchase about 100K worth the fiber graphite stock from them per year through work.

if it looks like the price impact can be mitigated by the life span...
in other words, if it will last long enough to pay for itself given a few points for being better than stock... I'm in.
lifetime rotors is great, you mean lifetime pads too?

It would be interesting to see how they test. I have a set of have a set of Ceramic Matrix Composite rotors on my motorcycle. They are indeed lighter, but that's about it. They don't bite as hard initially as iron rotors and the braking feel and performance is equal or very marginally better than stock. They certainly do not outweigh the costs. Unsprung and rotational weight savings is great, but I would rather have rotors that have much better feel and bite than spend $2000 and save a few pounds. My lap times with the ceramic rotors were about equal to good quality iron rotors.
