PCCB all the way! No regrets, have had CCBs in my C7 Corvette as well. Well worth the money!

I have a 991 turbo s with PCCB’s and 18 way seats also a 2021 base 992 with steel brakes and 14 way seats.

1. 992 14 ways are the most comfortable seats ever in a 911.
2. Standard steel brakes are phenomenal.
3. PCCBs don’t squeak at all and have great pedal response.
4. oh how I love no brake dust on pccb wheels.

summary is $9k “no brake dust option” worth it to YOU.

If it fits the budget for your build, knock yourself out. The Base has smaller brakes than the S. As a result, the PCCBs on a Base are an even bigger improvement over the standard brakes than they are on the S. Enjoy!

Given your driving expectations, PCCB a waste of money IMO. Use the savings for other options or give to charity.

Is the thing about rocks getting stuck and scratching the wheels and brakes real?

Just like the iron rotors, if you daily drive them in town and make a habit of lightly braking into stops, you will get glazing and they will squeak. A couple hard stops and it's gone. I've been DD'ing mine on short trips the last month and got a few squeaks that I had to brake away. Brake late and hard. No squeaks.

I love my PCCB’s but if you are considering tracking it is a very very expensive replacement part. If everyday driving they will last a lifetime and they are amazing.

I have PCCBs on my S and was back-and-forth on them while in configurator phase. One thing I noted was that people who had them liked them and ordered them on multiple cars. Many who said it was a waste of money didn’t have any experience with them.

I like them because they make the car feel more special as I walk up to it and as I drive it (they have a different feel than my experience with standard brakes). When I do suburban school bus duty with the car, I do get some noises but they go away with a hard stop or two. I have only cleaned the wheels with a sponge once in 12 months and 8k miles - just hose off and they are clean. I plan to keep the car 10 years so resale is not a factor.

Put me in the camp with those who have them and would never order a car without them. Let us know your final choice now and update once you get the car to help others.

PCCBs in my view are a solution looking for a problem. If you think brake dust is a problem, then that's a reason to tick the box. Otherwise, the base brakes and the larger S units are more than capable for street use, even if driven aggressively.

I agree the standard brakes are pretty awesome but the PCCB sure are cool. Have you had a 911 with PCCB’s?
