Well PCCB's are a $10K option, so depends how well you buy the car. Converting it will certainly cost you money and time though and there are many red caliper cars available. You could sell the PCCBs once you swap them out, if you don't mind the hassle. Lots of inventory... you're shopping at a good time.

save the 10k and spend on a set of the steel AP racing brakes. Saves unsprung weight, warm ups quicker than pccbs and are otherworldly on track. I have19s on my car because I like the extra sidewall but I’m not sure they make significant difference unless your using slicks which I do. There is definitely some grooving of the inner barrels.

^good tips gentlemen. I bought a set of used 19" Forgelines to put slicks on. So I will get the Panamera bolt (so I can later put back on the OEM bolt) & get the AP brakes (so I can later put on the OEM brakes). Good plan?
