Gen II will be different because Porsche used GT2 and GT3 owners to discover the formulation was wrong with Gen I.

All of that being said, if I had unlimited funds I would run PCCB at the track and just buy rotors when needed. They are great brakes.
Well, that just about answers the bottom line question. I don't think it would be rational to put that much money into something the seller won't cover under warranty. I don't care if Hurley Haywood does say the ceramics are great. I'll save the $$$ and get a nice set of BBS motorsport wheels for the track.

Thanks for your help!

I think it's ridiculous that a set of rotors costs 20% of the car's purchase price.
