Default PCCB or just big yellows??

been hearing lots of negatives as far as the problems with the Ceramic rotors as you can see on the gt2/3 forum .
Can you order the car with big brakes but steel rotors?

People say the performances is great but i wonder if its the calipers not so much the rotors?

has any one used both set ups??

I actually have a pair of the brakes ill be putting on my 951, but with 380mm steel rotors.

I'm pretty sure there is no current option for non-ceramic big calipers. But I think you can order standard calipers painted yellow (if not now, probably soon) - little yellows?

That would be sweet Jim. I love the yellow caliper colors. Just not willing to pay 8K for the real deal.

In '04 you could have the stock calipers painted yellow (option CRF) for $3225 just for looks

You can send them out to be powder coated any color you want.

There are many places other than your local dealer that will paint them correctly. As far as the genuine PCCB, it is my understanding that they have redesigned the brake cooling ducts and added more vents inside the disk itself. Whether or not this has helped with be found out by the first round of buyers. and lets hope they work becuase if not, hundreds more are going to be out the absurd replacement cost.
