don’t understand why folks don’t save the $9K for ceramics go with the no cost irons and then upgrade to the AP set up. Almost as light as ceramics with better performance, engineering and features. Almost 2 complete sets of brakes for the price of one set of ceramics!

$9K option
$20K part over the counter
Seems like a great value

) and then switch to them... and retain a bit more resale value. when returning to stock.I do think on 'some cars'... the Red brakes look good, but on 'most cars'... the Yellow Calipers look best IMO.

I optioned pccb on my gt4. After one season they were more than 50% worn. For me, as many days as I do steel is much better decision or the sst ceramics.
And for me, it’s a track car that I can drive on the street to the track. I don’t want to mess with a trailer.

Data seems a bit off to my eye. Granted I don’t know the answers. Seems 365 cars ordered in Lizard and 551 cars ordered with black wheels and lizard lip (I know this is possible as I’ve seen white and black cars posted here with that particular option). Just seems off to me as the aurum wheel color seems more prevalent than just 20 cars. I know a poll here is far from representative but doesn’t hurt as people can participate if they wish and not if they don’t.

there's two types of people in this world.
People who order Ceramic brakes because they want yellow calipers.............and.................dirty F'ing liars
People say the ceramics are better on the track, yet track people want steel because of costs to replace ect ect
I ordered ceramics

I'm the type that likes red calipers and retrofits ceramics
Ceramic is better in all ways, but takes a bigger budget
