PCCB: Care/Concerns/Tips &Tricks/Facts?
First time PCCB owner, have obviously read 100 threads over the years about people hating and changing to steel and other people loving... some people complaining about wet initial stopping power... and others giving "do's and do not's"
would love some tips and tricks and cares and concerns regarding PCCB and the best way (besides removing them) to take care of... products not to use on them and so forth.
the main thing i have seen is people buying those lug bolt guides to slide the wheels on off to eliminate the wheel from falling down on the rotor... would love any other advice.
plan on getting suspension installed and also cautious about a shop handling them if they are fragile as some say.

Total 911 offers a DVD of its 1st 50 issues. The last 3 of the 1st 50 issues have a real good 3 part article on PCCBs. Many if not all of your questions would be answered reading these articles.

What Macster suggests was true for the 996 cars--but is lo longer true for the 997.Porsche deleted the wheel hanging bolts from the kit even for PCCB cars. Go buy two aluminum ones for a few bucks and keep them in the car all the time. I recommend that if you take your car to a regular tire and wheel guy that you leave your car at home and simply take the wheels in yourself to avoid a problem. (That's what I do). I simply don't trust any wheel shop to know how to deal with PCCB rotors.
