What is your experience with PCCB for street use?

ipse dixit

They're great.

Grippy at low speeds, noisy
Fantastic overall - even better than my M5 with CCB but that is a heavier car.
Would do it again 😎

I hear the extra brake dust is outrages.

Love mine. No dust at all. Very quiet. Stopping power is off the chart. And they don't end up covered in rust if the car sits for a couple of days.

The one downside is the pedal. Yes, it's very firm, which is nice. But the initial bite it pretty strong, and you get to full braking power without much pedal travel, so modulation requires extreme precision in pedal force.

I've read Porsche intentionally did that (pedal travel) only to give them a different feel than the irons. Customers would perceive them as better for the additional cost.

Great info here from 2 weeks ago:

Didn't we just debate this?

Have steel on my Cayman, PCCB on the Carrera. Love, love, love the PCCB's and think they're worth every penny. Powerful, great pedal feel, quiet and no dust.

And did someone say they're noisy? My PCCBs are dead quiet, while the steels on my Cayman have the dreaded squeal in stop and go traffic.

That's my understanding as well. Personally, I don't mind - the firmness of the pedal inspires a lot of confidence. But I do understand those who take issue with the increased difficulty of precision modulation.

As I said, I love mine. They may well join PDK on my must-have list.

I love (love) love them.

The feel, bite, power, etc. are all really good. I got in a 991 TT with the iron brakes at a Porsche Event and haaaaaaaaaaaated them. It felt really off to have normal brakes in a 991 after the fantastic PCCBs that i was used to.

Do you have a source for that? Other than forum gossip.

Once you try pccb, you will never go back to steel. Well, at least for me.

Naturally, that's how performance brakes are supposed to be.
The firmer and less travel the better.

The difference in unsprung weight is noticeable. Car feels more agile with PCCB.
