I don't like the yellow calipers with gold wheels as much as I like the red calipers with gold wheels, which is making it even more difficult to select CCB.

It will also come down to driving reviews. If the reviews come out as OMG the CS feels completely different on the street (in a good way) with CCB, then I'll most likely get them. If it comes out that you can only really tell on the track, then I won't. Improved street driving feel, plus less wheel cleaning is a win.

If the CS was primarily developed with the standard brakes, then I suspect that the weight savings of the CCB will be marginal. This development would also be why I would likely resist throwing in a lightweight battery. Shedding 40lbs on one corner of the vehicle would absolutely impact handling at speed since its at the outer edge of rotational center and likely change the moment of inertia. Folks modding an M2C can offset this with adjustable coilovers and corner balancing.

Edit: Just get a license plate M2 STI

Dave i think this option is more for the looks and less for the actual usage , how many of us , the owners of the M2 CS will actually NEED those ccb even in track ? I mean the normal ones should work as well ! For 8-10k option is a steal , but since dealers can discount them , why not getting them ? I got a perfect deal on the ccb , i wouldnt mind getting the red ones , but for the money & looks and as well for some other minor reasons (wheel dust) (more mileage ) etc i would ofc spec it with the ccb ! Would you give 90k to get that car , and not giving 91k with the ccb ? Lets say ok not 91k but 93-94k , again i would think about em .
