The braking performance is just more consistent with ceramics, which is what you want on track. The steels are good, but the performance and braking power does exhibit fade with heat.
F1 uses ceramics for a reason...

If the Cup cars were allowed to use ceramics, they would.

Vast majority of PCCB buyers care about keeping their wheels clean more than they care about performance. There are multiple ways to upgrade iron brake setups on any car in case they are not up to par before having to shell out nine grand for PCCBs.
Back on topic.

I am going to use the same recipe as every other sports car I have owned... high quality performance pad (Ferrodo/Endless), stainless lines, high temp brake fluid (Endless/Castrol).

You know he just cares about provenance and the lack of brake dust.
F1 uses carbon-carbon brakes, something that is different from street-spec CCM.

LOL dusty wheels were not a concern when adding PCCB knowing in other Rennlist posts dust with new pads are issues. It is simply I want it, it is available and it is a complete package from Porsche for me. No need to tinker after market since I am not a performance expert........

But, the initial proposition was that steels were just as good as steels, not whether one was "worth it" more than the other.

No one seriously buys iron brakes over PCCBs because they believe the irons actually perform better than their ceramic counterparts. Just the reduction in unsprung weight alone is enough to make PCCBs a no-brainer over irons.
It simply comes down to a question of QPR, and a person's budget for brakes.
