Default PCCB on a 991 carrera. Will they bolt up?

Hi i want to buy a full set of pull off 5 lug PCCB rotors, calipers, and dust cover to install on my 2014 991 carrera. My question is will they direct bolt up to my car so its just a simple swap out or is there more to it? I hate to drop $12k on a pull off set if im not 100% sure they bolt up. Thanks for any help

Yes, they will, but you will need additional parts.

This thread will explain it all for you --> https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1133...all-pccbs.html

.1 & .2 brakes are not interchangeable. Make certain you are buying a set of .1 PCCB's.

Not sure if you've considered it or not, but instead of PCCB brakes, you should consider going to essexparts.com and getting one of their Big Brake Kits. The stopping power is phenomenal, and the 380mm rotors all around look a lot better than stock. There's a number of different pad options for use that you can purchase from other locations (their road kit comes with Ferodo DS2500), and there are different color options for the calipers . Best of all, while still pricey, it will cost you < $9k for them - new - and when you need to replace the rotors, that is a whole lot less than the PCCB rotors (around $2500 for a set of 4 rotor replacement rings vs about $25k for PCCB rotors). Now, if your primary mission for the PCCBs is to eliminate brake pad dust, then the AP BBK kits are not going to help for that, but from my experience with them, they are amazing for pretty much everything else. Go take a look at https://www.essexparts.com/ap-racing...mm-porsche-911 and https://www.essexparts.com/essex-des...1380mm-991-997

Thanks for the help yall. Posting my question here was the perfect move. And yes im only swapping over to pccb simply because of brake dust. My acid green OZs look horrible after just 10miles

Holy moly, you are going to spend $12k to eliminate brake dust??? For $100 you can buy Centric brake pads for front and rear and eliminate 80-90 percent of the brake dust. You might consider giving that a try before dropping 12 large.

I agree with the sentiments above.

If the goal is truly just cleaner wheels, you could pay for a private weekly detailer for the life of the car to keep your wheels (and car) clean for that kind of money.

Have the rims ceramic coated and rinse the wheels every 2 weeks. Quick and easy and first will truly rinse away.

I know it sounds nuts to spend that much to eliminate brake dust but my ferrari has the ccb and i can drive it 1000 miles and wheels always look flawless. So i find myself not driving the 911 because ill be stuck cleaning the wheels for 30 minutes after each drive. They are ceramic coated so that does help buy i cant stand any dirt/dust on my cars including the wheels
Thanks again for the help yall
