The weight difference does not matter either for the street. There's not a big enouhg diff to make a dent in fuel economy. The reduced unsprung weight means the chassis will respond better with carbon, but as no one drives 10/10ths on the street (and lives for very long) there is no need for the slight handling improvement. Most drivers would never notice the difference.
So, unless you are doing lots of DE events you will be much better served by going with steel brake rotors and quality pads. C-C brakes are indeed overkill for the street as their perfomance enhancements will not even be noticeable.

i guess i wasnt clear the first time. WHO CARES if it is overkill? have you seen what we drive and the things people here do?
like i said maybe i just dont like brake dust and replaceing worn rotors... or maybe I do alot of braking or up and downhill driving through the twisties?
its weird all this hostility about how "overkill" this is... does someone here have vested interest in the failure of aftermarket CCM rotors or even PCCB?
