I got my '11 RS with steel brakes, but am thinking about "upgrading"(?) them to PCCBs for the street (too much noise and dusting from the steels, regardless of which pads I use). Anybody know if I can just swap rotors and pads from the PCCB setup? Disk diameters are the same, not sure about thickness. And if so, is there anyone who's removed their PCCBs looking to sell them? Thanks!

You need to change out to yellow calipers too. Apparently the mounting points are different (at least that is what I was told).
Carbotech has ceramic pads (Bobcat) for steel rotors which they claim emits 90% less dust. The only problem is they don't have stencil for the 997.2 RS oem pads yet...and are looking for an owner who is willing to send them the oem pads for a few days.

Thanks....I've been assuming the calipers are the same. If they need to be swapped, then I definitely won't bother pursuing the upgrade.
I've got a set of OEM pads that I can ship to Carbotech if that would help people out. Anybody got contact info?
EDIT: I talked to Carbotech and am shipping them out the stock pads today.

I would call the switch to PCCB a downgrade. Suggest you search and find the many threads about people who bought cars with PCCB who are switching to conventional rotors - especially those who track the cars.

Cayman is gone. I didn't have time to do the Cayman Interseries, and so it made sense to sell that car (traded it on the RS, actually

well what does that mean?
i tested it before my mechanic was done with it 3 weeks ago.
today we just finsished fire system and cool suit into it. need LSD, short gears, turbo, nitrous, big loud exhaust.. the list seems to get longer and longer...... i will test drive it again when i race in in two weeks (so, leigh2, if i bump you, it's b/c my brakes are not working). you know, driving is golfing and making love.. hitting ***** in the range and working it in the bathroom is boring. why practice. just do it.
need to motivate myself to keep on working.
3 race cars. you must hardly work ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
