Hi guys,

Want to pick your brains again. About to fit a set of PCCB to my 996 GT3 2004. Brand new items.

Anyone who has them already fitted or prior what is the best way to make the use of them in terms of driving them on the track. Warm up, cool down etc advise is what I'm looking for and how to use them to the best of their potential.

Help is much appreciated.

For the track keep steel rotors.

^ Yep

Why don't u keep steel fronts and pccb rears for the weight savings. Even steel rears last a long time so pccb should be effing almost forever. Always wondered if neone has done that combo. Mike

I still have PCCB on the rear.. they last really well.. majority of the braking is done up front on the 996 GT3.. we don't have stability control kicking in to straighten the car via rear brake.. !

^lucky dog!!!! Mike

hm.. interesting.

Less weight on the back of a 911, right?!

I also ran my rear PCCB's with steel front during the end of last season, no surprises...
Am all steel now

The only reasons I wouldn't is because of mixing pads and having rear brakes be nonexistent on cold/wet days.

cfjan

Why do you think you would not get any braking power w/ PCCB in cold/wet days?! It is very much pads dependent.

It is only the P50 race pads that does not have much cold bite.. (and that's only for the front anyway)

kk2

On PCCB, I never felt like I had any brakes in the cold/wet. Especially at lime rock… Never could get enough heat into them.

cfjan

I wonder what kind of pads you have? I definitely agree that the P50 race pads need a few corners to heat up, but other compounds seems to be okay... Who knows!

kk2

On whatever the stock pads are. It was only a few events but I never felt like I was going to make the turn.

But whatever works for you! I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. That's just my experience.

cfjan

Yeah, no worry... No rear brake won't cause instability... While having too much rear brake can be dangerous.. So it is at least not a safety issue, ha ha!
