RB-CCB System BBK (420/390) for Corvette C8 (P/N 2R18-K & 2R19-K)

The modern mid-engine platform of the Chevrolet Corvette C8 has redefined American performance by delivering supercar-level handling, acceleration, and braking capability. However, serious performance enthusiasts and track drivers often look for even greater braking efficiency, lighter rotating mass, and exceptional heat resistance. The RB-CCB System Big Brake Kit (420/390) — part numbers 2R18-K and 2R19-K — is engineered to deliver exactly that.

Developed by RB (Racing Brake), the RB-CCB System BBK integrates advanced carbon-ceramic brake technology with precision-engineered calipers and oversized rotors designed specifically for the Corvette C8 platform. This system transforms the already impressive braking capabilities of the C8 into a track-ready, ultra-high-performance braking solution suitable for aggressive street driving, high-speed track events, and motorsport applications.

Advanced Carbon-Ceramic Braking Technology

At the core of the RB-CCB System is its carbon-ceramic composite rotor technology, widely used in top-tier supercars and professional motorsports. Carbon-ceramic rotors offer several advantages over traditional iron rotors, including significantly reduced weight, superior thermal stability, and dramatically longer service life.

The 420mm front and 390mm rear rotors included in this system provide a massive increase in braking surface area. Larger rotors create greater leverage for braking forces, improving stopping power and shortening braking distances even under extreme conditions.

Unlike conventional brake systems that can suffer from heat fade during repeated heavy braking, carbon-ceramic rotors maintain consistent performance at extremely high temperatures. This makes them ideal for track days, spirited canyon driving, and high-performance road use.

Another major benefit is weight reduction. Carbon-ceramic rotors are significantly lighter than traditional iron rotors, which reduces unsprung mass and rotational inertia. This contributes to better handling, quicker acceleration response, and improved suspension performance.

Precision-Engineered Calipers for Maximum Control

The RB-CCB System BBK pairs its oversized rotors with high-performance multi-piston calipers engineered for optimal pressure distribution and braking precision. These calipers are constructed using lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum to maintain strength while minimizing weight.

Multi-piston caliper designs ensure that brake pads apply even pressure across the rotor surface. This results in more consistent braking performance, improved pedal feel, and increased braking efficiency. Drivers will notice sharper response and greater confidence when braking at high speeds.

The calipers are also designed with advanced cooling channels and high-temperature seals, ensuring durability even during extended high-performance driving sessions.

Track-Ready Heat Management

Heat is the greatest enemy of braking systems, particularly during aggressive driving. The RB-CCB System is specifically engineered to manage extreme temperatures without compromising performance.

Carbon-ceramic materials can withstand temperatures exceeding 1,000°C, making them highly resistant to brake fade. Additionally, the rotor design incorporates advanced airflow channels that help dissipate heat more effectively than standard rotors.

This combination allows Corvette C8 owners to maintain consistent braking performance lap after lap, making the system ideal for competitive motorsports and endurance driving.

Perfect Fitment for the Corvette C8

The RB-CCB System BBK (P/N 2R18-K & 2R19-K) is engineered as a direct performance upgrade for the Corvette C8 platform. Every component is designed to integrate seamlessly with the factory mounting points, ensuring proper alignment, reliability, and safety.

The kit is compatible with many aftermarket wheel setups designed for large brake systems. However, due to the size of the 420mm front rotors, it is recommended to use 20-inch or larger performance wheels with proper clearance.

Installation is straightforward for professional technicians or experienced performance enthusiasts, making it an excellent upgrade for owners seeking the ultimate braking solution for their C8.

For drivers who push their Corvette to its limits, the RB-CCB System provides supercar-level braking performance that matches the C8’s incredible speed and handling.

FAQ – RB-CCB System BBK for Corvette C8

1. What is included in the RB-CCB System BBK kit?

The kit typically includes 420mm front carbon-ceramic rotors, 390mm rear rotors, multi-piston performance calipers, mounting brackets, high-performance brake pads, and installation hardware designed for the Corvette C8.

2. What makes carbon-ceramic brakes better than traditional iron brakes?

Carbon-ceramic brakes offer lighter weight, superior heat resistance, reduced brake fade, and significantly longer lifespan compared to conventional iron brake systems.

3. Will this big brake kit fit all Corvette C8 models?

The RB-CCB System BBK is designed for most Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray and performance variants, but wheel clearance must be verified due to the large rotor size.

4. Do I need larger wheels to install this brake kit?

Yes. Because of the 420mm front rotors, most vehicles require 20-inch or larger wheels with proper brake clearance.

5. Are carbon-ceramic brakes suitable for daily driving?

Yes. While they are designed for high-performance driving and track use, carbon-ceramic brakes also work well for daily driving and offer the benefit of longer service intervals and reduced brake dust.

6. How long do carbon-ceramic rotors last?

Carbon-ceramic rotors can last significantly longer than traditional steel rotors, often exceeding 100,000 miles depending on driving conditions.

7. Is professional installation recommended?

Although experienced enthusiasts may install the kit, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper alignment, torque specifications, and optimal braking performance.
