I'm getting ready to place my order for my GT3 (can't afford the GT2). One of the options is the ceramic rotors (PCCB). I'm planning on using the car on the track (95% of the time) and I'm trying to determine if the PCCB is worth the money. Have any of you taken your GT2 on the track? What do you think of the brakes? What are you comparing them against?

Brakes are great -- however, if I had the option I would get the gt3r ones instead.

Deanger - gt3r are not an option. Are you using your car on the track?

cjv,
What about brake fad? What all did you have to buy (rotors and pads)? Where did you puchase everything?

The ceramic brakes are a "look good" option only. For 1/2 of the money, you can have 8 piston floating 15" rotor Brmebos which will put the ceramics to shame on the track and weigh about the same, maybe a few lbs more.

Ceramic and carbon rotor material is too ahead of the curve for anything but open wheel F3000 or F1 cars.

Although I am not a big fan of the ceramic brakes you can put some more agressive pads. (much better than the stock) This will give you much BETTER performance than ANY steel rotor with conventional pads.
The GT3 with the 6 pots calipers and proper cooling (this is the most important thing) from the cup car will be more than enough. It is enough for the pro racers on Porsche Supercup and I think it will be enough for you too.
