As a follow up to my post above, I received confirmation from ECS as well as two other suppliers of the Akebono pads linked above, and all three said these Akebono pads ARE compatible with PCCB brakes, including ceramic rotors. I'll try to remember to update the thread once I put them in and try them out.

I'll probably pick up a set and check them out. They happen to be on sale right now at ECS, and they confirmed to me as well they are fine with PCCB rotors. They were unable to give me a akebono part number so I could do some more research online, do you happen to have it? The akebono fit guide is pretty bare bones and mentions nothing about ceramic rotors, but like you said a couple of other sites mention they are pccb friendly.

2 581 234 (This is ECS's part number, I believe)
99735294800 AKE (This is presumably the equivalent Porsche part no.)
EUR 776 (presumably the Akebono pad type/style)
Barcode is 8 2172610359 8
Note that I drive an 06 Cayman S with PCCBs (which are the same as the 997 GT3/Turbo S, IIRC), so this might be a different part number/part info than a 996 GT2/3, but hopefully some of that is helpful to you.

I need a definitive yes form someone before I risk rotor damage.
Thank you
