One day, like my 997 RS, this car will be retired from track duty. And when that day comes, the PCCBs will go back on. Until then, steel it is. Some people like the look of the pccb calipers and the bigger rotors.

So GiroDisc/Ferodo DS1.11. Will run those and may end up trying RaceTechnologies RE10's next time.
I purchased one of the first sets of GT4 PCCB to Girodisc conversions from Clark. I had to grind a bit of the backing plate off of the front pads for clearance with the hat. Clark quickly sorted it out for me with Girodisc. As noted that issue has been addressed by Girodisc.

The current version of PCCBs work well when tracked and treated with respect. madness I think getting steels. I have had no problems at all with mine.

No question... They work VERY well.. Low dust. Excellent performance.

When you say treated with respect, what do you mean?

I suspect that after 6 to 10 days at Sebring, those rotors will be toast. Steel is a cheaper consumable. Until I can find a sponsor to support my quest for the DE Cup, steel it is.

Are you aware of what, if any, differences exist between the PCCB calipers and the standard GT3 calipers? I know the rotors are slightly larger (410F/390R v 380F/R) and I assume they use a different pad compound. I guess it's possible they could have a different mounting boss height, but I'm curious to know details.
Hypothetically, could CCB rotors be used with red "iron" calipers?

Same calipers, different spacing. We are running 410F/400R Surface Transform Carbon Ceramic Rotors on originally steel equipped cars using their hardware/spacer kit for the calipers. Half the price of PCCB's, better heat dispersion, and they last 4-5 times longer as they are refurbishable.
