This thread got me thinking about PCCB again. I searched all the forums, read all of the experiences and once again ruled them out. When you need to replace the rotors, it's $20K OEM or $16K if you go with the racingbrake solution. I could also by a complete set of RacingBrake's 2 piece iron rotors and better calipers for $10k.. http://www.racingbrake.com/RB-Calipe...por-irp-03.htm
They will be superior to any Porsche OEM brake kit whether PCCB or not. Since I will be tracking this car, this makes the most sense for me. YMMV.

We offer both PCCB or standard brake stock replacement rotors or complete RB caliper CCM/iron rotor kits.
If you like to go with the complete RB kits; we have PCCB stock size (410/390) kits, or standard iron brake kit (380/380), plus the in-between kit 390/390. Personally I think this would be the best kit for performance and value.
Front 390mm is the stock size for Corvette ZR1 CCM rotor and Nissan GTR Iron rotor, which we make both (CCM & Iron), and are very familiar with how they work, should offer you sufficient thermal capacity w/o excessive weight like PCCB stock iron replacement @410x36.
This kit shall also fit most of the 18" aftermarket racing wheels. You can check the fitment template below:

If you prefer to reduce some sprung weight off iron rotors, we can even build the discs with ZR1 rotor rings 390/380 or 380/380 for a more affordable price (below $10k for 4 rotors), and the rotors will fit your stock red calipers or RB calipers if you pre-own the iron kits. So there is plenty of flexibility and interchangeability.
I hope above posting can help your decision a little easier for what the thread topic is about.

Good planning in regard to brake options. I would say spend your money on the interior/leather or other options you like and leave the brakes option to RB later, we have more brake choice for you to consider than you can possible think of; whether you just want to save the PCCB replacement cost, or reduce your rotor sprung weight and go for CCM rotors. Or prefer iron rotors for track durability and good modulation, low replacement cost, and don’t want to spend >$1000 for CCM track pads.

The poll ends the debate, however there is no wrong answer it all depends on what you want. Very passionate group, but we all don't like the same options .........yes they are options it's a choice. I don't see myself making quick left turn on the street, and saying damn it was a heavy turn because of those darn brakes(: No I do see myself at the stop light bored and saying wow that leather dash and red stitching is very cool! Also the wife likes it too(: later boys you guys will figure it out.

We will be making CCM stock size rotor kits available for those who prefer CCM rotors for street driving, while keeping standard iron brakes for tracking. They will be designed and made to interchange with stock rotors and retain the use of your stock "Red Calipers" and pads.

As many of porsche owners agreed is that you have to get what ever makes you happy when you spend time with your machine... Imho i think pccb's perform better than irons, specially when you are about to enter a tight corner you simply dont have to push the pedal as hard as on the irons, the car just stops at your comand and feels a lot sharper, i tell you this because i had the opportunity to drive the gt3 with irons, and i felt that the iron brakes had some loose feel at heavy braking, , either on track, canyons hills and street use... again this is my opinion, and what i've learned with past experiences at the end of the day the only thing that matter's is that you dont regret when you are looking at your car (inside or outside) and thinking i should it got this or that option, just get what ever your needs are as a driver. You are not going wrong either way, enjoy!!!

Pretty hard to break your red stiching/leather. Not so with PCCB.
