Spec’d as a factory OEM option, they are the biggest bargain Porsche has on offer currently. Considering replacement OEM ceramic rotors are close to 3x the price

Love Outlast, swear by it, but it's not the same as PCCB clean. I had both at the same time and, while it works great, PCCB is cleaner. But the cleanliness is just a bonus, the brake feel at speed and ability to modulate so precisely is why you go PCCB. I'd never spec a new Porsche without it.

Agreed. I don't have them on my Spyder and I've seriously considered dropping $20k to get take offs out of Germany and do the conversion.

Worth every penny to me...I just had PCCBs installed today. They look fantastic, feel outstanding and my back will feel much better from now on since I do not have to clean my Black wheels.

Too bad about the yellow calipers, wish they came in another colour. Yellow (in my mind) just doesn’t go well with sapphire blue.

Personally I think yellow goes better with blue than red but I have seen many cars with calipers that matched since they had them painted or powder-coated.

Red just ties into the other red highlights on the car (tails, reflectors). Nothing wrong with those that like the yellow, just not my personal taste. One can always add yellow interior highlights to tie it in however.

Now red interior with Sapphire blue.....well that’s a different story.

However in the end beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.

In my PHO both red and yellow look great. We all think highly of PAG and for as long as I can remember steel was red, PCCB was yellow and many other car mfg's made their ceramic calipers yellow. My choice (not for extended track) is always PCCB for appearance and DUST. Dealers say you will get back 50% on trade so real cost could be $5k.

Happy with my yellow caliper PCCBs but interesting that on the 992 you can also spec them in black...
