I have it on mine. Love it. Have it on my 4RS, too. Much reduced rotational mass (yes, you feel it) and dust (yes, you don't see it) alone are worth it. Imo, it's a no brainer if you can get it. Why spend thousands on cosmetic options, but equivocate on PCCB? It's the best bargain on the options list.
Rotational mass for a street ripping car @ the $$$$… plus the cost of replacement over Steelies, not worth it. Since this is primarily a cosmetic option, why not pay under $1000 to get your calipers powder coated yellow?

Most ppl who option these do so for looks/dust only, or to raise there MSRP for resale value; which IMO is worthless for the 95% of Porsche owners (currently like myself) who don’t, or haven’t tracked their cars, and from what I see, those who optioned PCCB and track, swap out to Steels immediately anyway… why did they bother with PCCB’s (+MSRP FLEXING).

At least those are the reasons I have them in my Spyder and one of the main reasons I sold my old Spyder as it didn't have them.

I’m fortunate enough to currently have a 991.2 with regular brakes and a Spyder with PCCB. Everything about the PCCB are so much better that, if I keep the 911, I will probably covert it over to PCCB.

The PCCB's are so incredible that I just can't bring myself to get a 4.0 GTS without them, but also realize that (along with preferring to get PDK) that there might only be a couple of cars in existence.
By incredible, I mean the initial bite, and overall better progressive feel as you add pressure is mucho superior. The lack of brake dust is very welcome. The longevity (I had over 60k miles on my 981, and could have easily made it past 100k based on the density readings my service tech performed) and resale value, make it an economical option for people who aren't afraid to put miles on their car.
And as great as I'm sure a GT4 is, looking for something just a touch softer.

I have a 21 CGTS 4.0 PCCBs. The original owner spec'd them, but I got them in my CPO and love them and I'm glad I have them. I have a hard time spotting CGTS 4.0s generally and have found zero others with PCCBs. I have literally only seen maybe 6 total CGTS 4.0s even after crawling through 100's of Pcars at this year's Werks Reunion.
