I did think that the pricing for Iron Rotors on the Z06 was odd because I actually asked them to price me a '15 Camaro SS and a '15 Camaro Z/28 as a comparison. Instead he gave me a '12 Camaro SS (Front pads: 486.15, Front Rotors: 612.15 (each) - 1,224.30) and the Z06 prices I listed above. Odd that the SS rotors were quite a bit more than Z06 rotors. Part #'s given for the Z06: Iron - 20981819, Pads - 23271117, CCB: 20981825, Pads: 23316708. Hopefully those match up to your GMPartsDirect #'s. Also, this pricing was from back in October.

I understand, but I question how realistic/useful those numbers would be considering people who track their cars regularly aren't going to pay the ridiculous list prices. The prices from popular dealerships that sell parts online are probably much closer to what someone would realistically pay.
(The #s they gave you for the irons aren't for the Z06 which is why they're so cheap.)

After doing this comparison, I checked RockAuto.com, and they actually sell the factory ceramic rotors (AC Delco branded of course) for $1,444.79. That'd bring the cost of the full ceramic replacement to $3,476.46.
CCM Brakes are expensive, but for mainstream cars I don't think they're nearly as expensive as some people seemingly want to believe. If these brakes were more common in the Camaro, Corvette, Mustangs, etc., we'd see the cost drop significantly. In the end, they probably wouldn't cost much more than the irons.
