.2RS Added Brake Cooling = trackable PCCBs?

sorry 1 pound unsprung = 15.5 lbs spung equivalent. so 620 lbs total at all 4 corners.
We also need to include the performance increase do to less rotational mass of the rotor.

I’ve had PCCB and iron and I prefer CCB for suspension feel and less pedal effort. The car feels lighter and more controlled on bumps, which at Sebring matters, other tracks maybe not so much. Stopping is ultimately limited by the tires but the better initial bite and lower pedal effort means I feel less beat up at the end of the weekend. I think initial bite of PCCB is better than OEM pad’s but so is Ferodo/AP rotor combo, so not sure how big a difference it will make over my normal track setup. I think the reason to do ST CCB is lower unsprung weight since rebuild cost seems comparable to iron.

Bump rebound dynamics is a different story.

Is it possible that it's the mental factor of you thinking that you have better brakes with PCCBs being more confidence inspiring, so you're more comfortable going deeper into the braking zone?
The golden ticket now seems to be to spec your car with irons then buy ST rotors.

It's been covered before on the forum, with articles referenced where direct comparisons were made. Im not going to look up the threads or articles now, but the answer is that pccb offer more consistent fade-free performance than iron, but braking distances are the same.

yes, I think someone should do a comparison of for sale RS’, otherwise same optioned but iron versus PCCB and determine if the investment return is greater than putting the $9k in the market. That would really help me make a decision! 🤪

Most likely there is no "return" on the 9k investment. The return is at best 0, if not negative.
A PCCB RS should sell for more, but not more than the cost of the option.

If you're never selling the car, tracking exclusively, then no need... but if you're only keeping until the 'next one' comes along... some of the options are more important for mass appeal (IMO).

OEM calipers are same, except the body of the yellow calipers has a shape that acts similar to an integrated spacer which lets it work with the larger diameter rotors. It is not possible to use the smaller iron rotors with PCCB calipers for this reason, but you can add a spacer to the red calipers to work with larger rotors.

I wonder what the total weight difference is per corner for the worst case scenario (20-21" std wheels with MPSC and extra large steel rotor from PCCB concersion) VS best case scenario (Magnesium wheels / 19" wheels with Hoosiers and PCCB rotors).
Someone should weigh it out.

Pagid pad shape for the factory iron rotors (380 F/R) is 4924 F and 4945 R. On a conversion to our ST ceramic rotors (410 F/400 R) the pad shape on the front changes to 4927 (the same as factory PCCB equipped cars) and the rear stays the same at 4925 (also the factory PCCB equipped shape).
