Interesting another buddy had the same issue with with PCCB's. So far I have not been told no PCCB;s

All the allocations my dealer got for May and June can't spec PCCBs.......not sure after that as I didn't spec PCCBs.

That actually is not the spring rate causing that, it is the lack of rebound damping. The stock PASM damping curves suck. The compression is too high and rebound is underdamped.

I went with 80/100 springs when adding my MCS 2-way dampers, once you dial up the rebound damping, even with the higher spring rates, it is very well controlled.

That's not what I experienced...and not stock damping parameters.

Apologies but what the "ST Disc" acronym

Honestly, they are a bit of a nice to have but in the real world it doesn't matter one iota - and if you track it a fair bit you're better of with steelies (lots more choice of rotors and pads). You did the right thing, far better to have a lock than an indeterminate wait

Got the "no PCCB" advice. So going with Steel and locking the order - dont want any delay.

I'm going to wait to get an allocation until I can get PCCBs and WP with mag wheels.

I can 100% guarantee, the day you take delivery - you'll have the biggest grin on your face (irrespective of PCCB or steelies).

My July delivery date is now updated to early September. Still no PCCBs available. Just excited to hopefully have one this year.

Agreed - Had 2 GT4's with steels and was perfect and will be painting the brakes black so no real issue for me IMO
