There are a couple of other threads with people talking about how much their new PCCB's dust, fade, etc and were actually putting 991.2 GT3 pads in to replace the stock new ones. They may have to come up with an all-new compound that complies with environmental laws but still performs up to expectation and not just as simple as them being able to use old pads. Who knows. I'm sure it'll get worked out though!

That's about the only thing that would make sense outside of a supply shortage for the reason you mentioned above in regards to profit.

This is all a guess but I am here to tell you there is a major issue with the pads that came on the car.

Since they can't just sell with the old pads because of regulation it would require an all new formula which would also require a testing and certification process. There's no way they'd just be able to tweak the formula then call it good and start tossing them back in new cars. I bet it is a very significant issue. This should be interesting and will hopefully fix the dusting and performance issues. For the price they should be pretty awesome! I was planning on putting them on mine when my allocation comes available so hopefully, they get it figured out sooner than later for everyone's sake.
