that is the question. is saving about 40 lbs (20 kg) unsprung weight and assuring no need to replace brakes or pads after track use worth 7-10K?
40 lbs unsprung weight. yikes. that is more than i thought.................

Personally I'd say yes. However, since I like the brake calipers to be Red, I probably opt out of the Ceramic option, and get Mov'it brakes instead (if and when available).
One choice would be to go with Ceramic, and send out the calipers for a little professional paint work. Unsure the weight reduction would be my main choice of yes/no. Once you spend that much on a car, the $$$K options are spare change. Go with your gut.
CAR mag says 'no' to ceramics....sez the standards -'are so aggressive...you can save your cash'.
Mebbe on a harder edge version of the R8- the ceramics would for sure be the way to go?
R8's for everyone .
