CC-X
The CC-X is a ceramic-carbon-metallic compound, which is developed for fast road cars to be used at high speed driving like at Autobahn with repeated braking and acceleration. It is suited for use in a power brake system with or without ABS. The CC-X is a high heat resistance compound which can also be used for circuit racing, like a sports car club race day. There is no need to change pads for such an event. The initial bite and response is excellent even at very high speed like 250-300 km/h and so also the pedal feel and brake balance.
One can often notice that the ABS system is not operating the same amount of time at hard driving with this compound because of its construction preventing wheel lock to a big extent.
The CC-X is also developed to go together with mass-produced standard discs with lower steel quality and still not wear the discs down or cause problems with heat cracks even at high temperature operations.The wear of the pad is also exceptional low, which makes for a good economical aspect. It has, just like the race compounds, a high degree of anti-water fade even if cross-drilled or grooved discs are not used. The CC-X is also developed to be used in cold weather like minus degrees and snow. The pad response is still good in these instances.

Friction average: 0.35 - 0.45 µ
Temperature range: 100 - 700º

CC-R
The CC-R is also a ceramic-carbon-metallic compound developed for the same purposes as the CC-X compound. The difference is that the CC-R is easier to modulate for the driver and it can withstand even higher disc temperatures. Another point is that the working temperature starts as low as 0 °C, and the compound still has a very good initial bite and brake power all over its operating range.
The CC-R has all the other characteristics that the CC-X has and is the optimum choice for an all-round pad during demanding high speed driving.

Friction average: 0.30 - 0.40 µ
Temperature range: 0 - 800ºC
