Yes.

big can of worms question, with lots of opinions. I have owned a GT3 with iron brakes and one with PCCB. I would order PCCB again every time. I do not plan to order another Porsche GT car without them. High cost item. But its a high cost car, and my rationale is why wouldn't I want to experience the lightest most nimble handling GT3 that I can have. The PCCB shed about 40lbs of rotating mass from the car. I don't feel you have to be a pro race driver to experience the difference made by dropping that much rotating mass. But put that aside, they help with almost no brake dust on wheels and the stopping power and longevity of the brakes on the street, both immense. Previous thinking is that you wouldn't want them for the track, but even that thinking seems to be shifting as many here have posted about success with them on the track. I feel there is no reason other than money to not get them. That is a perfectly legit reason to not get them. But if you can afford/or willing to spend the $9k, I say get them. There will most certainly be varying opinions on that. Use the search function and you will see. Good luck with your build.

Thanks for the great feedback. I currently have them on my build. I will post my final build when it is input. Did you lock yours down?

for the most part yes, have a week or so until freeze...

PCCB is bling. Very expensive bling. They look awesome. I wouldn't base my decision on anything but that… Don't do it because you think you'll feel any performance gain.

You can feel the difference on the track.

Serge944

Ive had GT3s with and without PCCB. If anything, standard braked are the advantage as you have more aftermarket pad options to fine tune what youre looking for on track.

I thought long and hard about PCCB for my 991, but it was merely an aesthetic decision for me. Settled for standard brakes.

I doubt anyone could feel the weight difference. Its just good for bragging rights.

mrsullivan

10lbs per corner of rotating mass is a lot of weight. Unless you have driven both for thousands of miles, maybe hard to tell a difference. This has been beaten to death. I would have bought them for no brake dust alone though...

Shahano

and for the looks of course.

I've had the iron and now with the PCCB's. Would never get another GT3 without them. Love the feel, looks, and no brake dust. Just my .02

TRAKCAR

Occasionally (Less than 8 not so hard days a year) or money no object yes.
They stay clean, look great.

I don't like the hard feel and lack of bite when cold on the street.
At 30+ hard track days a year too expensive to replace, but companies now offer refurbish at $1K per corner, but you wont need to for years if you just track occasionally.

$10K option no biggie, get them.

Mech33

Keep in mind these $1k refurbs are completely unproven.

We don't know the rate of replacement (and thus the cost) of these Gen III CCB yet.
