I had no need to track any more at all actually....very happy with the time I was spending with track vs balancing my other interests. Never said I was using Pagids either, had simply made my own observations against those that were, and, their findings/comments re squeal, cost etc. Accordingly, it became obvious Pagids weren't suitable for me as my usage balance was 90% DD/street and 10% track, so made no sense to use them really. Being superior performing against OEM? Humm, well they may very well be gunner, but my own measure comparing my lap times vs others that I knew using them wasn't compelling enough to put up with the quoted downsides. And the cheaper cost factor, again I wouldn't know as I wasn't using that product to make the comparison myself....just quoting comments made by those that were. In so far as fade and pedal feel using OEM'S? That is the case with stock fluids for sure but Motul resolved the issue. But, then again, maybe I, and the various pro racers I had shot gunned with in OEM set ups, weren't "properly tracking" the car 
LOL! Seriously! Wow. Sounds like a cheap swipe coming from a guy who buys himself a TT to drive around in the centre lane.
Gunner If you seriously are unable to feel the superiority during general everyday driving situations that's fine by me. I found one does not need to be "reckless and dangerous" (as you like to infer) to feel those differences. Many others have also made the same assessment that PCCB is indeed "noticeably" superior.
LOL! Really? I mean you say you don't plan using your TT as a track car so why not enjoy all the benefits that Porsche has on offer for the car? "Bling" or otherwise. But I imagine cost was never a consideration here I suppose.
Seriously! So F1 cars, and Porsche engineering, are basically just more about bling?...Gotcha. I mean PCCB really aren't better anywhere right?
Umm.. yaa.. OK...nice to know but?
Gunner I would truly like to believe that. But its "all good" with me either way. Truly.

Agreed, It would look very cool with your car's Racing Yellow!
Other than black is the calliper colour associated with Porsche's base models, if that's not a consideration you have a great looking option!

To the OP, have the dealer paint your calipers with the TTS yellow used on PCCB calipers. May not match, but trust me, the TTS PCCB calibres get super hot and I have not seen any discoloration.
