Components needed to swap PCCBs for iron brakes
Besides calipers, rotors, pads, and mounting hardware, what else would one need to completely swap PCCB's for iron brakes? Are there any differences in the master cylinder or other brake-related components between the two brake systems that would be needed to fully convert a GT4 from ceramic brakes to iron brakes?
I'm potentially looking for a version of this kit but for iron brakes instead:

If you go to the Suncoast site and look under GT4>brakes>ceramic brakes you will find a kit to convert ceramics to steel to include rotors, calipers, pads, and some hardware. Here is the link: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/GT4450REM.html
Depending on your reasons for making the switch, it may be possible to only exchange the rotors and pads; thereby saving the cost of replacement calipers. You would just need to find rotors in steel with the same measurements as the ceramic rotors. A little internet research may turn something up.

I'm the one that sent my PCCBs to Giro for them to be measured. All you need is their rotors (link in the immediately previous post) and your choice of pads.

Maybe advantage is easier fitment of 19" wheels? Otherwise... just swap rotors as Joe said. Brembo has a kit also I believe

Clark at Apex set me up with Girodisc replacement rotors, Ferrodo pads and the new Spiegler brake lines for my PCCB equipped GT4. Add a set of caliper studs and bracket studs while you are in there. Couldn't be happier. The PCCB rotors are doing a fine job holding down a shelf in my garage.
