i haven't gone followed the link yet... but just will share my personal experience.

We went for the PCCB's on our 997GT3. I only have 3,000 kms on it so far, but most of these are hard km's-- high speed runs, running on the track (several laps on the 'Ring, and since then many more laps on my local track).

Granted, i'm not a particularly experienced pilot, so I wouldn't take the brakes or the rest of the car for that matter to the limit as well as many other guys could.

But so far, the PCCB's have been simply great. wonderful feel, no fade, and not a sign of any problems at all. of course, as I said, the car only has 3,000 kms on the clock...

but lets hope my initial impressions last!

cheers

Our last 996tt had Gen. I PCCBs, worked good until my co-driver shattered the right front rotor into T5 at Road America. It sounded like a shotugun went off in the wheel well. Needless to say, the new GT3 has steel rotors. Would rather spend the 8K on other upgrades..Have no experience with the Gen. II PCCBs though.. my $0.02..
