I would be more concerned about those rotors! Take one off and weigh it… $$$$

Never make assumptions! I assumed they would weigh them, which is useful, but you’re right they do have a scanner for the carbon! Crazy.
The dealerships should all have this. Have them scan the brakes for wear.

Please list the shop and location so people can avoid it.

ah so its properly broken in for you already
Hi yall, i wanted everyone's opinion on whether or not to buy a gt3 thats been used on the track mainly. Its fully ppf protected so the paint is in immaculate condition.
Will be buying from porsche dealer, with new service done and of course 1 year approved warranty, tires also new.
I won't be using it on the track at all, regular daily, also the car is equipped with pccb
Thnx for the advice

I might ask for alignment specs. Just so you know depending on your intended use.
cars don't know the difference of where they have been driven
brakes and tires easy to see wear level.

the other factor is was the car tracked with the PCCB. I do so but many other swap out to steel disk. If he ran the PCCB on track the rotors will go in about 1500 track miles (depends a lot on the driver). Changing those costs gobs of money. Bottom line have them weigh he rotor and give you life time estimates
In fact, they made the decision to have all the cars with PCCBs because it was calculated to be cheaper in the long run than swapping out iron discs and pads. This came straight out of the horse’s mouth.
It made me appreciate how long the PCCBs were good for… and we’re talking wear and tear from ham fisted, lead footed drivers who go through their programs.

I was fortunate to purchase the PCCB scanner tool from a forum member - pretty slick tool, and you can measure the wear without pulling off the rotors . . even do it without removing the wheel if you have small fingers. .

Few things...I was not aware of the scanner tool. The guy went by weight...it was uneven...first pad change was maybe 35 to 40 percent and second set was a change. This was on a 991.2 GT3 with the primary track having two long straight (150s at brake zone). If PCCB can last 18000 track miles which would be like 9 years for me I would say its a great deal and everyone should leave those on.

Until I saw this thread I simply assumed what I got was not out of line!...I am still not sure what can explain such a big variance. Perhaps there is some sort of exponential degradation with temp perhaps. Does anyone here have direct experience running PCCB on a GT car?
I also found this...very usefull information since irs the same car as mine...he runs through his pads in about the same time as me 6-9 track days but is getting 3 to 6 changes vs my 2.

I bet a lot of dealers are too cheap to buy that scanner and simply weigh the rotors, changing them when not even necessary.
I’ll have to look up what the PCSS shop notes say regarding rotor charge procedure.

You have to take the wheels off when using the Carboteq tool.
That's the only way to do it properly.
