i have them on my Targa (991.1...) and have had no issues what so ever. Love the lack of dust and the incredible stopping power.

Thanks, Gordon. That was a very good thread to read.

Yes, I could live with that, especially having been forewarned by the good folks on here!

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks, I am edging nearer & nearer to being 100% on ticking the box!

That's great! Any issues or negatives at all, just to get a balanced view, before I commit £6k for the PCCBs? Damage from trapped stones etc?



Cheers,

Simon

Great - thank you! Another vote for PCCBs!

Cheers,

I initiated that post and in <250 miles both the left and right side caliper and wheel have sustained damage due to small stones getting trapped between the caliper and wheel. This is on a 991.2 which has a 410mm rotor diameter, much larger than 991.1’s. There is less than 6mm clearance between the wheel and caliper. I have ordered a set of Forgeline wheels which will more than double that clearance and I hope will solve the problem. I really like the PCCB performance and lack of brake dust. The clearance issue and resulting caliper/wheel damage is a bummer however. I imagine in 10,000 miles the wheels in particular will be a scaped up mess. Because of the minimal clearance it is very difficult to see the caliper damage.

PCCB’s are Speed Yellow.

Great - thank you, Eric!

Thanks, flickroll. Sounds like you were really unlucky getting that damage in your first 40 miles. I am comforted by the fact that the damage inflicted is virtually invisible until you get the wheels off. Over the last few days I have accumulated a lot of feedback about PCCBs, mostly thanks to this forum. Most is very positive about PCCBs, from those who have them.

Out of interest, would you spec them on your next Porsche? And is the area/terrain in which you drive especially prone to picking up these small stones?

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks again! You learn something new every day!

I look forward to hearing/seeing how you get on with the new wheels that you've ordered.

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks, 8enny8lack.

My trip to the PEC in Silverstone will definitely be after my spec is locked down. To be honest, over the last few days I've accumulated tons of invaluable feedback, both from the US (Rennlist) and the UK (Porsche Club Great Britain and Macan Forum). I'm now 99% going to tick that box, with a balanced view of the pros & cons from Porsche enthusiasts.

Yep, I have heard that PDK results in slightly quicker driving and is recommended for track work/racing. I've had PDK in my Macan, 991.1 and Panamera 4. I always drove a manual before I discovered Porsches, and I have driven a 991.2 with manual transmission, although they are quite rare over here.

I definitely have my eyes open to the fact that there are arguments both for & against both the manual box and the PCCBs.

Cheers,

Simon
