I used to be able to access the entire Porsche parts catalog for ALL parts, not just the ones that dealers like Suncoast offer on their websites. Is that functionality gone now? I've searched and can't find it anywhere, even using the URL I had used in the past.

Perhaps a little bit more information about what site you were using? Any of the ones that I am familiar with still work.
That URL works for me and returns a part with diagram and a suggested price... cool I hadn't used that one before!
Generally I go to a link like this one, it is for a specified dealership but most seem to have them, this is Marin in California, but I have used Sunset in Oregon among others: Porsche OEM Parts | https://www.porschemarinparts.com | Porsche Marin

yeah, the Parts program I’m talking about is almost identical to the one the parts guy at the dealership would use. Every single part for every single car with breakdown as to trim level and option code. Not specific to a dealerships proprietary website. I was surprised the general public had access to it and it appears that it has now been disabled for the most part. We are stuck using the sun coast type interface.

So the URL that you posted above was 'not' the one that you were actually referring to?

Do you still have it?
The link I provided is the URL that I used to use to access the factory parts catalog. It no longer arrives at the same destination that it used to. And I have been unable to navigate from that point to the parts catalog I am talking about. Surely somebody around here knows what I’m talking about. I accessed the parts catalog and diagrams many times back in 2018 and 2019.
If you PM me with an email address, I can send you a PDF of what I'm talking about. It's 25MB.

Let me try it again. Maybe I'm not being clear. The link I provided above is the specific website address I used to go to when I wanted to access the factory parts catalog. It IS the one I am referring to in every instance. The address is still functional in the sense that it still takes you somewhere. But it no longer takes you to the same place it used to take you. And I have been unable to find any location that does allow access to the factory parts catalog. Here are a few screen grabs of what the actual catalog looks like.

One more consideration, driving my spyder in wintertime with the PCCB's has brought up some sphincter-puckering moments in the rain and cold/wet conditions. They brake very very poorly in cold wet conditions upon first application, then with use/after 2nd time they become excellent. However, if you are on cold wet highway, soon after they warm up and brake fine, they once again become ridiculously bad as they cool and get wet on subsequent first application.
They are definitely sub-par compared to irons in these conditions, of wet and cold winter, something to be aware of. The car has <6k on it and there is nothing wrong or broken with rotors or pads and they work great in all dry, non-freezing conditions.
I like the PCCBs aesthetics, their staying clean and not having to clean brake dust and the lighter subjective feel (likely placebo).
They are definitely more on-off and that can be enjoyable except when having to heel-toe but then again the 718 spyder/gt4 have auto-blip so less of an issue.
Didn't want to add fuel to the debate fire but had a rough morning drive which bordered on dangerous because of terrible initial brake performance in the PCCBs on a wet cold rainy day, so caveat emptor... (btw same deal in my F430 CCB's, terrible in cold wet conditions on first application)...

Interesting.
I am in CA and we have had cold/wet weather the last 4 weeks and I have not noticed any lack of initial bite regardless of temp. or rain on mine thus far.

Being in CA vs MA makes a difference, we are talking cold/freezing wet weather around 30F, so may not affect everyone but if you're in Canada/Nordic countries it will

Our temps. have been in the upper 30's at night and I drive it often at night. Have not noticed any change. Not saying you haven't, but I have not experienced it.

Ok, I am writing here because I am pretty confident they are sub-par on initial application in WET/COLD conditions otherwise, i love them. I hope whoever experiences this phenomenon the first time is not in a critical braking event....
Wet as in there is spray on the brakes during driving...
