That's huge savings

Wots the price of the GTR kit relative to PCCB?

I think the GTRs are about $15K vs. $8800 for the PCCBs.

PCCB's are NOT $8,800. They are $8,800 MORE than the fine 6-piston Brembos that come standard on the car. Buying them separately (like the GTR's) would cost MUCH more

You can buy a PCCB retrofit kit for the 997 from Porsche (997 044 600 63) - somewhere in the $12K range just for the parts.
